The sixth-ranked Georgia equestrian team looks to remain undefeated at home as it hosts the Aggies of Texas A&M for the home finale on Saturday, Feb. 25. The Bulldogs are 7-4 on the season, with a 3-2 mark in the SEC, and a perfect 5-0 record at the UGA Equestrian Complex.
 
 
“This meets presents quite an opportunity to not only showcase how far these riders have progressed in the arena, but also to highlight our seniors in our last home meet,” Georgia head coach Meghan Boenig said. “Everyone wants to close extremely strong and show off this incredible progress. To say we’re excited is to put it very mildly, it’s going to be a fantastic meet.”
 
 
Georgia will honor its 17 seniors following the meet on Saturday and thank them for their contributions to the program during their time in the Red and Black. Since joining the team, this group has been crowned NCEA National Champions, SEC Champions, and NCEA Reserve National Champions. The class currently has a career record of 45-17.
