Sewanee was awarded the Medium Size team honors at the 2012 IHSA National Horse Show for their annual fundraising for Horses in the Hood.  Horses in the Hood is a non-profit organization that sends at risk youth from south central LA to a week of summer horseback riding camp.  Sewanee Equestrian team member Blain Lewis says, "I feel so blessed to be able to give these children the opportunity to experience a bonding relationship with a horse."
