NDSU’s equestrian team won high-point team honors both days of its first competition of the season Oct. 15-16 in River Falls, Wis.

Team member Shannon Voges, a senior from Courtland, Minn., also was named high-point rider Oct. 15.

She is one of 24 members on the 2011-12 team, which consists of 12 returning riders and 12 new members.

"The team displayed a tremendous amount of talent and enthusiasm at the first show, which I am expecting will continue throughout the show season," said Tara Swanson, the team's coach.

The team's next competition will be Oct. 29-30 at the University of Minnesota- Crookston.
