Washington and Lee will compete for the ODAC equestrian title Friday, Oct. 23, at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington. The Generals will send four sophomores, including Kaycie Miranda, who returns after earning All-ODAC honors and finishing with the conference’s second-best fences average last year. Five teams are entered, with Lynchburg aiming to extend its championship streak.

By the Numbers
  • 5 teams will compete for the title.
  • 3 rounds: 2 in Equitation Over Fences and 1 in Equitation on the Flat.
  • Lynchburg won the 2025 title with 16 points; Bridgewater scored 14 and Washington and Lee 13.
  • Miranda averaged 82.500 in fences last year; Lynchburg’s Madeline Rubin averaged 87.750.
Yes, But

Lynchburg enters as the defending champion and has won four straight ODAC traditional titles. Washington and Lee finished third last year, but returns Miranda, one of the championship’s top fences riders.

State of Play
  • Competition begins at 8 a.m. ET Friday at the Virginia Horse Center.
  • Washington and Lee’s lineup is Samantha Bourque, Ella Hudson, Miranda and Ryon Sinclair. Bourque and Miranda will also ride in the flat event.
  • Each team’s lowest fences average from each round is dropped; the remaining fences scores are combined with flat results to determine the champion.
  • Live scoring and a broadcast will be available through ODAC platforms.
What's Next

The championship opens with two fences classes before concluding with Equitation on the Flat. Awards follow the competition.

Bottom Line

Washington and Lee has a proven contender in Miranda, but ending Lynchburg’s title run will require strong performances across all three rounds.
