Baylor built a 6-2 lead over TCU in the English portion of its match against the Horned Frogs, then hung on despite TCU winning five points in Western. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/09/12/09122009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/09/12/09122009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDT The Baylor equestrian team leads Miami (Ohio), 8-0, Friday after the first two events at the Willis Family Equestian Center.

One student-athlete from each Big 12 school was designated with the honor, and Brown was Baylor’s representative. Brown, a pre-med major, recently capped off her four-year career by leading the Baylor equestrian team to a best-ever fourth-place finish in Hunter Seat at the Varsity Equestrian National Championships. She holds program records for most Hunter Seat wins (60) and most wins in Equitation over Fences (40). http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/19/04192009wacequine.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/19/04192009wacequine.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT For one day at least, gig ’em, Aggies, was replaced by giddy-up, Aggies. Cheered on by a collection of raucous fans, Texas A&M galloped to a national championship in the Western discipline at the Varsity Equestrian National Championships on Saturday afternoon at the Heart O’ Texas Coliseum. A&M outrode in-state rival TCU, 7-1, to claim its second Western national title in three years. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/18/04182009wacequine.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/18/04182009wacequine.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT Baylor was hoping for a chance to win its first-ever equestrian national championship. A best-ever finish will have to do. The Bears’ fourth-seeded hunter seat team fought No. 1 Auburn all the way to the end Friday, but couldn’t quite keep up in equitation over fences in a 5-3 loss in the semifinal round of the Varsity Equestrian National Championships at the Heart O’ Texas Coliseum. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/17/04172009wachorse.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/17/04172009wachorse.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT It doesn’t matter whether it’s football, basketball or even equestrian — Baylor loves to knock off Texas A&M in any kind of competition. With some strong performances in equitation over fences, the Bears are on the verge of taking the Aggies out of the hunter seat competition in the Varsity Equestrian National Championships Thursday at the Heart O’ Texas Coliseum. Fourth-seeded Baylor won three of four head-to-head rides in the fences competition. The Bears will advance to the semifinals if they can at least split four matchups in equitation on the flat against the fifth-seeded Aggies at 8:30 a.m. today. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/16/04162009WACequestrian.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/16/04162009WACequestrian.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT Have you ever baked a prize-winning souffle from scratch? Have you ever built a raging bonfire with two rocks and a handful of grass? If so, you’d probably have some appreciation for the construction project put forth by Ellen White, who built a nationally recognized equestrian program from the ground up. And she did it in just four short years. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/05/04052009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/04/05/04052009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sun, 5 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT Even when it splits up its squad, the third-ranked Baylor equestrian team is tough to beat. Baylor earned a pair of wins in their regular-season finale Saturday at the Willis Family Equestrian Center, claiming a 10-2 Hunter Seat win over SMU and a 6-3 Western victory over Ohio State. SMU only fields Hunter Seat team, while Ohio State is a club team affiliated with the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/29/03292009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/29/03292009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT STILLWATER, Okla. — Baylor’s dreams of winning a Big 12 title in equestrian went for naught, as third-seeded and host Oklahoma State upset the top-seeded Lady Bears, 11-5, in the Big 12 Championships on Saturday. “We left some places open today,” Baylor coach Ellen White said. “We had some good riding, but we had some nerves get in the way, too. You can’t have nerves. You have to stay steady, and we didn’t do that.” Oklahoma State won the Hunter Seat division, 6-2, getting three winsin Equitation over Fences and another three in Equitation on the Flat. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/27/03272009wacequestrian.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/27/03272009wacequestrian.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT The third-ranked Baylor equestrian team rides off to Stillwater, Okla., today for the Big 12 Championships, looking to capture the school’s first conference title in the sport. “We’re ready to go and bring home a Big 12 trophy,” BU coach Ellen White said. “The girls are ready to go and we’re going to show them what we can do.” Baylor (11-3) has already defeated every Big 12 opponent at least once this season. The Lady Bears meet Kansas State in first-round action today, a squad that swept in two meetings this season. http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/08/03082009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/03/08/03082009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sun, 8 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST No. 4 Auburn knocked off the No. 1 Baylor equestrian team, 11-9, on Saturday in Waco.

It actually marks only the third time a Baylor team has ever been ranked No. 1 in a national poll — the Lady Bear basketball team was voted No. 1 in the final coaches’ poll in 2005 after winning the national title, and the Baylor men’s tennis team was ranked No. 1 throughout most of 2004 and ’05. “Did I think this was possible? Yes,” Baylor equestrian coach Ellen White said. “Our facilities are great, Baylor supports us ... they get us anything we need.” http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/02/15/02152009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 http://www.wacotrib.com/baylor/content/sports/college/2009/02/15/02152009wacbuequest.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=17 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:00:00 EST The No. 2-ranked Baylor equestrian team rode past No. 5 Oklahoma State, 14-6, Saturday at the Willis Family Equestrian Center, giving the Lady Bears their fifth straight win.
