The SMU equestrian team is full of confidence after a strong win against the Texas A&M University Aggies. However, they will be put to the test again when they play host to No. 4 South Carolina University Gamecocks.
The Mustangs were perfect against A&M in Equitation over Fences. Sophomore Emily Gardner received MVP honors for her top score of 85, which took down Texas A&M’s Brooke Coleman.
The Gamecocks are coming off a tough loss to No. 2 Auburn, in which they lost by a single point, 9-10. Technically, South Carolina is winless so far in the spring, having lost to Auburn, although their match against Oklahoma State was cancelled.
Also in SMU’s favor is the fact that the team has not lost a home meet so far this season. Both of the Mustangs’ wins have been at home, while their sole loss was in Waco to the Baylor Bears.
