The Oklahoma State equestrian team defeated New Mexico State in the hunt seat portion of the show, while sustaining a defeat in the western portion of the competition.
The Cowgirl hunt seat team beat SMU last weekend in Stillwater, while the western team defeated Texas Tech in scrimmage form.
In Las Cruces, New Mexico the Cowgirls turned in an 11-9 loss to the Aggies of New Mexico State. Oklahoma State came away with a win after tying the Aggies 5-5 and going to the raw scores for the victory.
In equitation on the flat Oklahoma State won 3-2. Senior Ally Blais, junior Laura Conley and sophomore Jordan White all captured victories on the day. Blais also earned the MVP for the discipline while gaining the high score on the flat for the day. With the honors, she captured the second MVP of the season.
In fences White won her second head-to-head of the day along with junior Erin Prutow. Both girls captured their second win of the season in two tries. "Even though the overall loss is frustrating there is so much potential with these girls," head coach Larry Sanchez said. "We are looking forward to continuing on with the season and showing what the girls are capable of doing. We are extremely proud of hunt seat, who has earned a 2-0 record so far this season."
The Cowgirls were defeated on the western side of the competition 6-4.
In the horsemanship discipline the Cowgirls beat NMSU 3-2. Freshman Marissa Dalton earned a victory on the day and won the first MVP of her short career. Along with Dalton, senior Ashley Koch-Kennedy and junior Margaux Tucker also captured wins.
