both team and individual competition. Meanwhile, the NCEA was created in re- sponse to National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation (NCAA) and the Committee on Wom- en’s Athletics (CWA) identifying equestrian competition in 1998 as an emerging sport for women at the Division I and II and III levels. Currently, there are 18 Division I and four Di- vision II programs sponsoring equestrian. In the fall of 2014, the CWA recommended that Equestrian be dropped from the Emerg- ing Sports list due to the limited growth in the number of teams sponsoring Equestrian. Representatives from Division I and Division II rejected the CWA recommendation in sup- port of maintaining participation opportunities for women. Multiple updates on the progress of the sport from the NCEA leadership con- vinced the CWA to reconsider its earlier action. Part of the NCEA’s new structure includes a
National Advisory Board (NAB) comprised of corporate leaders, philanthropists, and equine industry experts. T e goal of the NAB is to develop the fi nancial support to make riding competitions the fi rst fi nancially-independent non-revenue generating collegiate sport. Maryland is represented in the IHSA by
Salisbury University, Washington College, Goucher College, Johns Hopkins University, St. Mary’s College, University of Maryland,
MARYLAND
Hood College, Mount St. Mary’s Univer- sity, Towson University and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Maryland does not have any schools in the NCEA (although neighboring Delaware State University is a Division I school).
Bigger Bonus for Maryland- breds
Starting with the Fall 2017 meet at Lau-
rel Park, a 50% breeder bonus will be paid to breeders of registered Maryland-breds by Maryland stallions that win a maiden race in Maryland. T is is an additional 20% over the regular 30% bonus. T is ad- ditional money is to reward those breeders who breed their mares in Maryland and then keep those horses in Maryland to brake their maidens at Maryland tracks. T e bonus creates an immediate return on investment at the beginning of a horse’s racing career. T is increase in bonuses comes right af-
ter Laurel Park’s average and total handle grew during the summer meet. T is year’s 33-day summer meet showed an increase in average handle by 25.6% and the total handle was up from $63.2 million in 2016 to $112 million this summer.
