With heavy but proud hearts, we say goodbye to our amazing coach, Ryan Carroll. As Ryan leaves Meadowbrook to pursue new coaching opportunities at Madeira, UMET will be behind him every step of the way, cheering him on! Ryan has dedicated countless hours to meadowbrook riders over the past 10 years, and we are so grateful for everything he’s done for our program over the past 4 years.

We are heartbroken to see you go, Ryan, but so excited for your next chapter. Best of luck at Madeira! UMET will miss you!
