TOP QUOTE
"Horsemanship did a great job and was really strong, they really stepped up and made that happen. Reining did a good job, maybe a little sticky; we had a new one that we put in there for the first time. Equitation on the flat, they were excellent. Fences there were some mistakes and some of the horses were not riding for Baylor, either. Overall we had other people who stepped it up and made it happen."--Baylor Head Coach Ellen White
