Pink was the color of the day at recent Morrisville College horse show
Morrisville, NY -- Catherine O’Donnell’s participation in the April 30 equine show wasn't about riding for a blue, red, or yellow ribbon top finish.Her sights were set instead on a pink loop of ribbon on her show coat and a colorful band on her wrist.
The pink icons, symbolizing the fight against breast cancer, were prominent during an open horse show April 30 at the Morrisville State College Sheila Johnson Arena on Swamp Road. O’Donnell was among Morrisville State College equine students on the varsity hunt seat equestrian team who participated in a Ride For a Cure division during the show.
A student in the college’s bachelor of technology equine science breeding program, O’Donnell spearheaded the Ride for a Cure division to help raise awareness and to join the fight against breast cancer.
The ride symbolizes hope for O’Donnell, of Huntington, a hamlet in Suffolk County, who has a close family member silently battling the disease. She said she wanted to "show my support for everyone whose life has been affected by breast cancer. The money we raise is going to a great cause and I hope through our efforts, we are able to change at least one life.”
“This is an opportunity for all of us to come together for a common cause and to show the community that we care,” said Renee Petruzzelli, of Clifton Springs, a bachelor of technology equine science breeding major, who assisted O’Donnell with the Ride for a Cure division.
Pink dominated show day. Baked goods were decorated in pink and all division riders received a pink ribbon, donated by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., and a pink rubber wrist band which O’Donnell purchased herself.
Her parents, William and Marianne O’Donnell, donated ribbons for the first through sixth places and champion and reserve champion for the division. Even the winning ribbons were flanked in pink strips.
