The Georgia equestrian team will host a doubleheader this weekend in Bishop at the UGA Equestrian Center starting today at 2:00 p.m. versus South Carolina. On Saturday, Georgia will compete against Deleware State starting at 10:00 a.m. followed by the University hosting a neutral-site meet between South Carolina and Delaware State on Saturday afternoon.
 
“There’s nothing better than being able to turn around and compete from one week to the next,” head coach Meghan Boenig said. “There are so many things we want to continue to build on and show off. I think this is a great rapid fire to really prepare for nationals when we have short turnarounds like this. It’s going to be an exciting week.”
