Judson College’s Hunt Seat Team competed at the University of Georgia’s Valentine’s Day Classic Feb. 11-12.

The show was hosted at the Chateau Élan Resort in Braselton, Ga. and was the first show of the new spring academic semester.

Participants endured severe winter weather. The temperature finally reached 39 degrees on the first day but the wind chill made it feel like 29 degrees.

Faith Williams of Crossville and Katie Beeman of  Hurley, Miss. placed 6th in walk/trot/canter. Williams also placed 4^th in the jumping competition. Beverly Cox of Athens placed 6^th in walk/trot/canter 2B and Megan Cook of Murray, Ky. placed 4th.  Olivia Breimhorst of Gardendale placed 5^th in walk/trot/canter 2A.  Taylor Whisenant of Pinson, placed 5^th in walk/trot.

The weather was more favorable and warmer without the wind on the second day.
