On September 13-14, the Open Equestrian Cup of the Sumy region was held in Sumy. Second-year student of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Sumy National University of Science and Technology – Oleksandra SIROSHTAN, took part in the competition and won 2 medals. In the open class category, she won the 1st place in the high-speed show jumping over a distance with obstacles 100 cm high and the 2nd place in the show jumping with overcoming obstacles 110 cm high. Oleksandra started horse riding only in 2021. She says that this was her childhood dream, which she was able to realize. This became one of the reasons why Oleksandra chose the “veterinary medicine” specialty. “Sometimes it is very difficult to combine training and education, but I enjoy the process, because my future profession is connected with my favorite animals,” the girl says. These are not the first awards for her, but they are special, because her duet with a new favorite – a horse named Pulse, started recently. “There are no such vivid emotions, because this is not my first victory, but it is the first success with this particular horse. We have only been together for two months and this is not the maximum level we can reach, so we will continue to work and gain new victories!” We congratulate Oleksandra and wish her to win even more gold awards at the regional and all-Ukrainian levels! We are proud of our students and their successes!
