An undergraduate student at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas, Zoe Reardon received a four-year, merit-based scholarship through the Second Century Scholars program. Also an accomplished equestrian, Zoe Reardon has participated in national horseback riding competitions, including the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Pony Finals.
Many young people are interested in horses and horseback riding, which can serve as an alternative activity to team sports leagues. Due to the USEF, equestrians in junior high and high school can now earn a “letter” to honor their athleticism in the same way that football and basketball players are recognized.
Open to equestrian athletes of all disciplines, the US Equestrian Athlete Lettering Program awards letters to students who log a certain number of hours of equestrian participation or participate in a certain number of competitions during the year. Those who meet the requirements during the program year, which runs June 1 to May 31, receive a letter patch and corresponding pin to document their athletic participation.
