Complete Notes (PDF)

The Basics
The No. 4 Oklahoma State equestrian team travels to face Big 12 rival Baylor on Feb. 15 at the Willis Family Equestrian Center. The Cowgirls look to win their second Big 12 meet. OSU leads the series against Baylor 38-13, with a 12-9 road record against the Bears. The Cowgirls have won the last 14 matchups.

Fall Season Review
The Cowgirls finished the fall season with a 5-3 record, going 1-2 against Big 12 opponents. OSU collected marquee wins against ranked opponents SMU, UT Martin and Baylor. The Cowgirls swept the Big 12 monthly awards for the first time in program history in October. Riley Hogan was named Fences and Flat Rider of the Month. Claire McDowall earned the award in Horsemanship, while Quincee Clark received the Big 12 Reining Co-Rider of the Month. In November, three more Cowgirls earned Big 12 Rider of the Month awards and Emma Filiatreau was named NCEA Reining Rider of the Month for November.

About the Cowgirls
Head coach Larry Sanchez, in his 26th year at the helm, leads the Cowgirls alongside sixth-year assistant Laura Brainard, third-year assistant Carter Anderson, second-year assistant Alle Durkin and consultant Jody Brainard.

Conference Leaders
The Cowgirls went 4-2 against Big 12 opponents last season, including two wins on their way to the program's first ever conference championship four-peat, something no team in the Big 12 had previously accomplished.

An Oklahoma State Win Would...
- Improve its away record against Baylor to 13-9
- Be its 15th-straight win over Baylor
- Be its 39th win over the Bears, the most wins out of any team in the NCEA for the Cowgirls
- Be its second conference win this season

Who to Watch

Senior Riley Hogan went 7-1 in Fences and 6-2 in Flat during the fall. She now has 58 combined career wins and sits second place in OSU history for combined career wins. She also has 38 career Fences wins, the most in Cowgirl history. She scored a new career-high 89.5 in Flat this season at TCU.
Claire McDowall started the season with a 6-2 record and earned MOP honors in four rides this year. She earned her 36th career win against SMU. She currently sits at fifth place in OSU history for Horsemanship wins. Coming off her second consecutive All-American selection, she looks to add to one of the highest win totals in Horsemanship in Cowgirl history.
Senior Quincee Clark is 4-2 on the season. She has 26 career wins in Reining and has an average score of 70.55 this season. The captain earned an MOP this season against TCU.
June Roberson is 7-0-1 on the season, and is averaging a score of 74.9 in Horsemanship. She scored a season-high 77.75 against SMU and will look to continue her great season. The junior was named to the All-Championship Horsemanship team at the NCEA Championship and earned Big 12 Rider of the Month in March last season.
Freshman Gable Gering scored a 91.5 in Flat against SMU. Her score was the highest score by any OSU freshman in the event and was half a point away from tying the school record in the event.
Emma FIliatreau earned a 6-2 record in the fall. She earned MOP honors against UC Davis, SMU, and Fresno State. The sophomore also set a new career-high at Fresno State with a 74.5 score, tying the season high for all OSU reiners.
