The Fighting Tiger sophomore rider helped led the western team to the first Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Zone 2 Region 3 championship in program history by earning Reserve Point Rider honors in the final two regional shows of the year hosted by Morrisville State College in Morrisville, N.Y. on Sunday.

In the day’s opening show, Ratner tied for High Point Rider honors by winning Open Reigning and placing third overall in Open Western Horsemanship which gave the Fighting Tigers a victory over the five-team field and broke a tie with defending regional champion Morrisville State College at the top of the regional overall point standings to give Cobleskill the regional title and automatically qualify all team members to the regional team semi-final event.
