ATHENS – The No. 6 University of Georgia equestrian team will host its annual Red and Black Scrimmage on Saturday beginning at 11 a.m. at the UGA Equestrian Complex.
The Bulldogs finished third at the SEC Championships last season and posted a 9-6 season record, including an undefeated 6-0 home slate. Senior Jillian Stopperich was named SEC Horsemanship Rider of the Year after tallying 13 wins and was named to the NCEA All-America First Team. Tessa Downey and Cadence Eger garnered SEC Freshman of the Year nods in Fences and Reining, respectively.
Senior Catalina Peralta was named to the All-SEC Fences and NCEA All-America teams. Sophia Pilla and Jordan Toering represented Georgia on the All-SEC Flat Team. Junior Shelby Lynch was one of three Bulldogs to be recognized as an All-SEC reiner after compiling 10 wins.
Georgia opened the season with a 13-5 win over UT Martin. The Bulldogs are undefeated at home against the Skyhawks. Georgia then opened the spring schedule with three consecutive top-five victories over No. 4 Auburn, No. 2 Texas A&M and No. 5 South Carolina.
The Bulldogs launched into the record books with 12 riders sneaking into top-10 lists. Six Flat, three Fences and three Horsemanship riders etched themselves into Georgia record books. Toering led all flat riders with a season-best 94 against Baylor. This is the seventh-best score in Bulldog history. Stopperich rode to a 77.5 against Texas A&M to mark her name in the top-10 Horsemanship records.
Georgia will begin its 2024-25 season when they host TCU on Sept. 28 at 11 a.m.
