COLLEGE STATION – The No. 3 Texas A&M equestrian team opens the regular season against No. 4 Oklahoma State at 11 a.m. Friday at the Hildebrand Equine Complex. Admission to the meet is free.
Â
"I am excited to get the regular season underway," head coach Tana McKay said. "We have practiced really hard and had a great scrimmage last week. Oklahoma State is a tough team to face every year, so it is exciting to start the season off against great competition."
Â
The Aggies, who are coming off a semifinal appearance at the NCEA Championship last season, return 11 starters from a year ago, including All-Americans Rebekah Chenelle (Fences & Flat), Caroline Dance (Fences), Ashley Davidson (Horsemanship) and Kalee McCann (Reining) as well as SEC Co-Freshman Horsemanship Rider of the Year, Alex Albright.
Â
Last season, the two teams squared off in Stillwater, Okla., as the Cowgirls edged out the Aggies, 10-8. Friday's competition will be the 23rd meet in series history as Texas A&M owns a 13-9 advantage.
