The Basics
Oklahoma State's seventh-ranked equestrian team hosts No. 4 SMU in the first home meet of the season. Both teams are coming off competitive road match ups, with OSU falling at TCU 8-12 and SMU losing at South Carolina 9-10. The meet is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. at Pedigo-Hull Equestrian Center
About the Cowgirls
Head coach Larry Sanchez, in his 27th year at the helm, leads the Cowgirls alongside seventh-year assistant Laura Brainard, third-year assistant Alle Durkin, first-year assistant Ashley Duda and consultant Jody Brainard.
2024-25 Review
Winning their fifth straight Big 12 Championship, the Cowgirls finished 9-6 overall and reached the quarterfinal round of the NCEA Championship. Under Western assistant coach Laura Brainard, the Cowgirl Reining squad compiled 44 wins and nine MOPs while the Horsemanship tacked on 43 wins and six MOPs. June Roberson and Claire McDowell were named All-Americans in Horsemanship while Abby Budd, Emma Filiatreau and Quincee Clark earned the honors in Reining.
Jumping Seat assistant Alle Durkin helped coach the Fences group to 33 wins and nine MOPs to go along with the Flat team who accrued 36 wins and six MOPS. Riley Hogan capped off her incredible career with two All-American selections. She was named to the second team in Fences while being an honorable mention in Flat.
Conference Leaders
The Cowgirls went 5-3 against Big 12 opponents last season, including two wins on their way to the program's first ever conference championship five-peat, something no team in the Big 12 had previously accomplished.
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
- improve its record against SMU to 14-9
- improve its home record against SMU to 8-1
- give the Cowgirls their first win of the season
Cowgirl MOPs
Emma Filiatreau was the lone Cowgirl to take home an MOP from the opening-meet at TCU, doing so in Reining
Who to Watch
•June Roberson earned a point last week for the Cowgirls with a a 76.5-76.25 win. Roberson finished her junior season with a 12-2-1 record, bringing her career mark to 27-14-1. Roberson garnered MOPs vs UC Davis and TCU last season to give her four career MOPs. She was named to the All-American first team in Horsemanship as well as the All-Big 12 team.
•Emma Filiatreau earned an MOP at TCU last week, continuing on her impressive first two seasons for the Cowgirl Reining squad. Last year, Filiatreau was named to the All-American
second team as well as the All-Big 12 team. She took home NCEA Reining Rider of the Month in November, as well as Big 12 Rider of the Month in November and February.
•Bella Holway shined last week at TCU, earning two points for the Cowgirls in Fences and Flat with scores of 77 and 76.5 respectively. It was the junior's second time in her career that she took home two wins on the same day.
•Freshman Lauren Gee had an impressive debut for OSU against TCU, scoring an 86 in a tight loss in her first collegiate ride. She'll look to build on that momentum for OSU's Fences team on Friday.
•Sophomore Katie Ramsey won her first collegiate ride for the Cowgirl Reining squad with a score of 72.75. Ramsey and Filiatreau provided two points in the 4-1 advantage that OSU had against TCU in Reining.
