NOTABLES
SDSU Series History
This is only the third time the Bulldogs and the Jack Rabbits will compete against one another, with the series tied at 1-1. The last time the two teams met was in 2016 with Georgia picking up a 14-6 win. Prior to 2016, the Bulldogs fell back in 2012 to the Jack Rabbits in raw score, 1,201-1,198. Both years, Georgia won two-of-its-seven NCEA National titles.

Minnesota, Crookston Series History
This is the first time that Georgia will compete against Minnesota Crookston in program history. The Golden Eagles are 0-2 in NCEA competition, with losses coming from TCU and SDSU.

Undefeated
The Bulldogs feature two undefeated riders in Hayley Mairano and Courtney Blumer. Mairano holds a 6-0 Fences record while Blumer is 4-0-1 in Reining. Mairano has claimed two MOP honors this season while Blumer was named SEC Co-Reining Rider of the Month back in November. Both riders were named to the First Team All SEC following last year's National Championship win.

Career Highs
Since the start of the spring season, three riders have hit career high scores. Against Sweet Briar, Sophia Pilla earned a 90 in Flat and earned MOP honors for her ride. Last weekend, both Gracie Himes and Emma Reichow hit career highs. Despite losing, Himes earned a 78 in Horsemanship while Reichow rode to a 90 in Fences naming her MOP.

20 Years of Glory
The 2021-22 season marks Georgia Equestrian's 20th season. As one of the top equestrian teams in the country, the Bulldogs have claimed seven NCEA National Championship titles and three SEC Championship titles, all under head coach Meghan Boenig.
