Purple-White Scrimmage previews 2015-16 Equestrian Team

K-State’s equestrian team geared up for the 2015-16 season with the Purple-White Scrimmage on Sunday at Timbercreek Stables. K-State was undefeated at home last season.

Riders competed in Equitation over Fences, Equitation on the Flat, Reining and Horsemanship. The scrimmage was set up to mock a game day setting, with riders competing head-to-head on pre-drawn horses.

With more experience, several riders looked to build on their momentum after a strong finish in the 2014-15 season.

In the Western discipline, senior Danielle Kemper competed for the purple team in Horsemanship. Last season, Kemper was named to the All-Big 12 Team in Horsemanship as well as the NCEA All-American Second Team in Horsemanship.
