GEORGIA EQUESTRIAN Greg McGarity J. Reid Parker Director Of Athletics
Georgia Administration
Athens native and University of Georgia graduate Greg McGarity was named Director of Athletics at UGA on August 13, 2010, after serving 18 years in the athletic department at the University of Florida. Since that time, McGarity has emphasized exploring new ideas and initiatives designed to move the organization forward in all areas of competition, academics, service, and exceptional experiences for student-athletes and supporters. McGarity oversees a 21-sport athletics program supported by a budget of $123 million. Since he became Director of Athletics, UGA teams have won national championships in women’s swimming and diving (2013, 14, ‘16) and equestrian (2014) and SEC championships in men’s tennis (2011, ’13, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16), men’s tennis SEC Tournament (2012 and 2013), women’s tennis (2013), women’s tennis SEC Tournament (2014), women’s swimming and diving (2011, ’12, ’13, ’14, and ‘15), equestrian (2015), and two SEC eastern division titles in football (2011 and 2012). During McGarity’s tenure as AD, 18 different Georgia teams have been ranked in the nation’s top 20 and 10 in the top ten. Georgia’s standing in the Learfield Directors’ Cup, which annually measures athletic teams success in NCAA championships, has improved from 20th in 2011 to 10th in 2013 and is consistently in the top 20. McGarity has also been a standard bearer for academic achievement. Since his arrival, Georgia student-athletes have been the recipients of 14 NCAA Post Graduate Scholarships, 28 CoSIDA Academic All-American awards, three NCAA Top Ten honors, three SEC Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athletes of the Year, and two SEC Brad Davis Community Service Awards. In the last six years, UGA has three winners of the SEC Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, two winners of the SEC Brad Davis Community Service Award, and one SEC Sportsmanship Award winner. In addition, McGarity has been at the forefront of facility expansion and renovation. The construction of the new Indoor Athletic Facility adjacent to the Butts-Mehre Building is scheduled for completion in January, 2017, and will provide a facility for use by multiple sports. A new soccer stadium, football locker rooms at Sanford Stadium, and a Stegeman Coliseum center-hung scoreboard are projects on the current drawing board. Other recent projects include a $12 million Foley Field (baseball) facility renovation, and new scoreboards/ video boards at baseball, softball and soccer. New sound systems in Stegeman Coliseum and Sanford Stadium have also been installed to improve the fan experience.

GEORGIA EQUESTRIAN
2016-17 Georgia Equestrian OUT WORK. OUT RIDE. OUT LAST.
The 2016 Georgia equestrian team looks to continue its legacy of being one of the best programs in the country in the 201617 campaign. After finishing with a 10-2 dual-meet record including a 4-2 mark in Southeastern Conference play, the Bulldogs finished second in the SEC and tied for third at the NCEA National Championship. This year’s roster includes several AllAmerican and All-SEC selections, as well as a freshman class with impressive resumes, adding depth to the Georgia lineup. “This is an exciting year for us because we are building on incredible strength from last year,” head coach Meghan Boenig said. “Our senior class has set an incredible pace and work ethic. Our freshman class is very talented and excited. And so isi everyone in between. To have the depth that we have, makes for the works of an incredible team that is prepared and ready to exceed expectations.”
Hunt Seat The Hunt Seat squad returns several familiar faces to the arena. All-SEC Team selections in Equitation on the Flat and Equitation Over Fences Liza Finsness and Meg O’Mara will be back in action for Georgia. Finsness posted a Flat record of 13-3, a record of 8-7 in Fences and was named SEC Rider of the Year in Equitation on the Flat. O’Mara returns after a 8-4 record in Fences and a 10-6 record on the Flat, including a perfect 4-0 post season. O’Mara was named to the SEC and NCEA All-Championship Teams in Equitation on the Flat and SEC Rider of the Year in Equitation Over Fences. All-SEC Team selection for Equitation Over Fences Addy Cord rounds out key returners in the Hunt Seat arena. Cord went 11-4 and rode to a season high 88 in the home opener against Texas A&M.
Western In Horsemanship, SEC Rider of the Year Bailey Anderson returns to action after going 12-4 on the season and earning three MOP honors. SEC Freshman of the Year in Reining Graysen Stroud returns for both Western disciplines this season. Stroud went 5-4 in Reining during the regular season in addition to riding to a 3-3 regular season record in Horsemanship, earning one MOP award in each discipline. Kyndall Harper and Claudia Spreng are key returning reiners for Georgia this season. Harper was selected to the All-SEC Team after posting a 12-4 record and two MOP honors. Spreng went 7-6 on the year and earned three MOP honors, two of which were against SEC opponents.
The schedule includes 13 regular-season competitions, including six against Southeastern Conference teams. The 2016-17 SEC Championship will be held March 24-25 in Auburn, Ala. The season will conclude April 12-15 at the NCEA Championship in Waco, Texas.

In January of 2009, Georgia riders moved into their spacious new home, the UGA Equestrian Complex, located in Bishop, Ga. The 109-acre farm offers Georgia the finest in equine accommodations. Formerly known as High Point Farm, the facility served the Athens-area equine community with boarding and training facilities since 1993. In 1996, High Point was selected as the training site for the U.S. Dressage Team, which competed in the Summer Olympic Games at the International Horse Park in Conyers, Ga. The Bulldogs have a true home-ring advantage, boasting an impressive 26-4 regular-season dual-meet record at the UGA Equestrian Complex. Georgia is no stranger to a home-ring advantage, owning a 54-2 all-time record at home. Prior to moving to its home in Bishop, Ga., the Georgia equestrian team shared more than 100 acres with the Animal Science Arena, just minutes from Georgia’s main campus. The University of Georgia Athletic Association is committed to being the nation’s premier NCEA equestrian program, in both competition and facilities. Plans are in the works to expand the UGA Equestrian Complex to include a 60-stall barn, a fan plaza, a covered arena and two all-purpose arenas.

Meghan Boenig Head Coach 15th Season Berry College, ‘99
Meghan Boenig came to Georgia in October of 2001 as the first head coach of the Georgia equestrian program. During her time with the Bulldogs, Boenig has led the program to unprecedented heights including six National Titles, six Southern Equestrian Championships, five reserve championships, a Southeastern Conference title, and a 55-4 dual-meet regular season record at home. Boenig also helped lead the charge of restructuring Varsity Equestrian to the National Collegiate Equestrian Association in the fall of 2011. Two-time SEC Coach of the Year, Boenig and her team finished second as hosts of the 2016 SEC Equestrian Championships and went on to finish tied for third at the NCEA National Championship. Five riders were named SEC Rider of the Year and one earned All-Championship Team honors at the SEC and NCEA Championships for Equitation on the Flat. Georgia claimed the Southeastern Conference Championship with Boenig at the helm during the 2014-15 season. It was the program’s first ever-SEC title since the sport was adopted by the conference in 2013. At the SEC championship, Boenig had two riders named to the SEC All-Championship team. The Bulldogs then rode to a reserve championship finish at the 2015 NCEA National Championship after posting a 9-4 record in the regular season. Under Boenig, Georgia put eleven riders on All-SEC teams and claimed six of a possible eight SEC Rider of the Year honors. Boenig also had seven riders earn NCEA All-America honors and 13 named to NCEA Academic All-America Teams. At the national championship, Boenig saw two riders earn Most Outstanding Player awards and three riders named to the NCEA All-Championship team.

During the 2013-14 season, Boenig led the Georgia equestrian team to the program’s sixth National Championship. After finishing the regular season with a 9-3 dual-meet record, the Georgia equestrian team earned a second-place finish at the Southeastern Conference Championship. Under Boenig, seven riders were named to the All-SEC teams, two freshman selected to the SEC All-Freshman team and two riders were named as the SEC Riders of the Year. Under her guidance, six riders landed seven spots on NCEA All-American teams, while 12 earned a place as NCEA Academic All-Americans and another 19 were named to the NCEA Academic Honor Roll. Boenig also saw two riders crowned as the Most Valuable Players of the NCEA Championship, as well as three riders named to the NCEA All-Championship team. Boenig is a 1999 graduate of Berry College where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. Prior to her arrival at Georgia in October of 2001, she spent two years as an assistant coach at Texas A&M during which time she also earned a Master’s Degree in Animal Science. Her two seasons at Texas A&M were deciding factors in her hiring as the Bulldogs’ inaugural head coach. Georgia sought a coach with the knowledge of working hand-in-hand with a university’s Animal Science community in forging a new equestrian team, something the Aggies had enjoyed during her tenure there. A native of Powder Springs, Ga., the former Meghan Nolan is married to Markus Boenig. They are proud parents of two sons, Josef and Mathew.

A native of Pauline, S.C., Bradley has enjoyed a lifelong association with horses. She grew up on a 124-acre horse farm and first began showing Hunters & jumpers at the age of five. By age 15 she was managing her family’s farm. In 2002, Bradley moved to Georgia, managed a 300-acre horse farm, supervised three community living facilities and attended college at Athens Tech. She was also a member of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association, from which she won several division titles, two state crowns and the Southeast regional championship. Bradley and her husband Andrew -- who won the team’s “Mane Dawg” award in 2008 for extraordinary service to the program -- are the parents of two children, son James Audie and daughter Agnes.

NCEA FAQs
History
Can NCEA teams only compete NCAA? No, schools that are a member of the NCEA are permitted to compete in both the NCAA-NCEA head to head format and IHSA (club) competitions. However, universities can only compete in one National Championship event.
The competition format is a head-to-head, where a rider from each team competes on the same horse. The rider earning the highest score on that particular horse wins the point for their team. At the end of the competition, the team with the most points wins the competition. The horse and rider match-up is determined by a random draw. Prior to their competition ride each competitor is given a four-minute warm-up (five minute for Reining) to familiarize themselves with the horse and prepare for their competition ride. This format of competition was developed to level the playing field between riders and to allow each rider the same opportunity on the same horse. There is only one elite level of competition for the four events.
How many women are on a team? There is no roster size limit. The teams range from 15 to 85 girls. The average team has about 46 members.
How many coaches are there? There can be anywhere from 1-3 coaches. Some teams also have volunteer coaches that are designated by the team, one western and one hunt seat for the whole season. Where do the teams practice? Practice and competition facilities can be owned by the athletics department or can be multiple use facilities on campus partnered with the Agriculture or Animal Science Department. Some programs lease a private facility. Who provides the horses? Most programs have their own string of horses for the team to practice and compete on. These horses have been donated, purchased, or are leased for the competition season. Typically how many competitions are there? Teams can have up to 15 dates of competition, not including conference or national championships. Competitions that last more than one day, or tournaments can be considered 1 date, up to 5 times. What does it cost to run an Equestrian Team? Annual operating budgets can range from $100,000 to $450,000, depending on the size of your program. The average cost per student athlete is $3,000 to $7,000. What about grades? The average equestrian GPA is 3.2 Are there scholarships? The sport of Equestrian can offer up to 15 scholarships per team. The NCAA defines Equestrian as an equivalency sport, allowing the scholarships to be divided amongst the team.
In 1998, Equestrian was classified as an NCAA emerging sport. At that time there were six participating teams (Auburn, Fresno State, Georgia, Oklahoma State, South Carolina and Texas A&M). Today there are currently 24 colleges and universities offering Equestrian as a varsity sport and more continue to add the program each year.
The National Collegiate Equestrian Association (formerly Varsity Equestrian) was created to advance the sport of Equestrian from emerging to championship status with the NCAA by promoting the benefits of Equestrian to potential institutions, riders, parents, horse industry professionals and sponsors while developing the rules and format of competition. The National Collegiate Equestrian Association Championships (NCEAC) is currently held in Waco, Texas. 12 hunter seat and 12 western teams are invited to compete. The NCEA Selection Committee invites these teams based on their win/loss record throughout the season. The NCEAC is made possible with the help of generous sponsors, volunteers and donors of current universities and local horse trainers that contribute competition horses, tack and horse transport. Two nationally recognized and carded judges in both Hunter Seat and Western travel to Texas to judge the four days of competition. More than 200 student-athletes from across the country compete at the Championships. Many people within the horse industry have united together to advance the sport of Equestrian to full NCAA championship status. In order to attain this goal and hold a NCAA sponsored Equestrian National Championship, there must be 40 Division I/II schools that sponsor Equestrian at their institution.
Mission

ABOUT THE NCEA 27
GEORGIA EQUESTRIAN
Key Terms in Equestrian Crop
A short whip used in riding, used only as an aid to reinforce the rider’s leg.
Diagonals
The correct posting, up/down motion, of the rider in sequence with diagonal movement of the horse’s legs at the trot.
Equitation / Horsemanship
In competitions, these indicate that riders are being judged on their ability to control and show the horse while maintaining the correct riding position. Riders have the added challenge of riding an unfamiliar horse, one that they draw for in a lottery system just before their event.
Equitation Over Fences
An individual performance where each rider shows a horse over 8-10 jumps approximately three feet high. Riders are judged on their ability to position the horse correctly at the jumps and avoid interfering with the horse’s balance, while maintaining the correct riding position and producing a smooth, polished performance.
Figure Eight
Two circles connected by a change of direction, most often seen in Reining patterns.
Gait
Three ways — canter/lope, trot/jog, or walk — by which a horse can move by lifting the feet in different order or rhythm.
Horsemanship
Refers to an event in Western discipline which is judged on a predetermined pattern consisting of several maneuvers is performed by each rider. The rider’s overall position and effectiveness in the saddle are major factors in scoring.
Hunt Seat
The category of Equitation English riders compete in, whose foundation lies in jumping and riding across country, such as foxhunting.
Leads
They are determined at the canter/lope by which front foot is leading. Correct leads have the inside foreleg reaching furthest.
Natural Aids
Body signals from the seat, legs, hands and voice to communicate commands to the horse, all the while appearing comfortable, relaxed and balanced. These signals should be subtle or imperceptible to the judge and spectators and exaggerated shifting of the rider’s weight is not desirable. The resulting performance shown by the horse is not to be considered more important than the methods used by the rider in obtaining them.
28 ABOUT NCEA EQUESTRIAN
NCEA Meet Format and Scoring Dual-Meet Format The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) classifies Equestrian as an “emerging” sport. Until 2003, all collegiate equestrian shows were conducted under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). Georgia riders departed from that format for the 200304 season. Since then, they have competed in the dual-meet format governed by proposed NCAA rules set forth in the biannual equestrian coaches meetings hosted by the United States of America Equestrian Federation. Teams compete in four events at each dual meet: English Equitation Over Fences, English Equitation, Western Horsemanship and Western Reining. In each event a minimum of four athletes from each team ride head-to-head on the same set of horses, which are provided by the host school. Riders are assigned to the horse in a random draw and face the challenge of riding an unfamiliar horse after a brief timed warm-up period. A point is earned when a rider’s score is higher than their opponent riding the same horse. General Scoring Hunt Seat riders are scored on a scale of 1-100. There are nine maneuvers each worth 10 points, plus an overall score worth 10 points, to total 100 possible points per ride. Maneuvers are scored on this scale: 10=Excellent; 9=Very Good; 8=Good; 7=Fairly Good; 6=Satisfactory; 5=Sufficient; 4=Insufficient; 3=Fairly Bad; 2=Bad; 1=Very Bad; 0=Not Executed. Scores usually range from 70-85, depending on the judge. Western riders are scored on a 70-point scale. There are a minimum of eight maneuvers which are scored on the following scale: +1.5=Excellent, +1=Very Good, +.5=Good, 0=Correct, -.5=Poor, -1=Very Poor, -1.5=Extremely Poor. Scores range from 68 to 74. Horsemanship and English Equitation riders are judged on their ability to control and show the horse while maintaining the correct riding position. Riders in Equitation Over Fences are judged on their abil-
Reining
ity to position the horse correctly and not interfere with its balance while maintaining the correct riding position for a smooth, polished performance. Reiners are judged for precision and application of natural aids as they execute intricate maneuvers at varying speeds. English Equitation Over Fences Each rider jumps the same predetermined course, usually consisting of eight to 10 jumps that are approximately 3-feet high. The judge is looking at the rider’s position, consistency of pace and accuracy of leads, turns and distances executed to produce a smooth, polished performance. English Equitation on the Flat A pattern consisting of nine maneuvers is performed within a rectangular-shaped arena marked by letters. Maneuvers are called for at specific letters and can be circles, transitions and serpentines among others. The judge is looking at the rider’s position and effectiveness at guiding her horse through the individual maneuvers. Western Horsemanship A predetermined pattern consisting of several maneuvers is performed by each rider. Consideration for scoring is based on the quality of those maneuvers, including pivots, stops, backs and circles, extensions at all gaits and consistency of pace. The rider’s overall position and effectiveness in the saddle are also major factors. Western Reining In this event each rider rides the same preassigned pattern from memory, performing such maneuvers as spins, sliding stops, rollbacks and circles. The circles are either large and fast or small and slow. The judge is looking for accuracy and correctness of maneuvers, correct speed for the maneuver being performed, the horse being willfully guided and overall quality of the Reining pattern.
Warm-Ups
In this class, Western riders perform an individual, pre-assigned pattern from memory, demonstrating a variety of stops, turns and maneuvers at various speeds. The emphasis on this class is on precision, technical application of natural aids and the rider’s ability to show unfamiliar horses.
Practice time before the classes, normally 4-5 minutes. The horses will be schooled, or prepared for competition using stretching and suppling exercises at various gaits, or practice jumps if necessary by riders who will not compete the day of the show.
Rollback
A smooth stop from the lope, in which the horse is supposed to balance on its back feet while the front feet continue to move.
A turn performed in Equitation Over Fences class to show control of the horse and rider’s ability to maintain a position throughout a turn. A tight turn performed between two Fences. In Western Reining, a rollback is a 180 degree pivot with speed after a halt.
Sliding Stop

About SEC Equestrian The Southeastern Conference adopted the sport of equestrian during the 2012-13 academic year. The four programs that currently comprise the SEC have a rich history of elite success in the sport.
The three schools of the formerly 12-member SEC have been contesting a yearly Southern Equestrian Championship since 2003, which in 2012-13 was replaced by the first-ever SEC Championship, involving all four schools.
Since the National Collegiate Equestrian Association began contesting a national championship in 2002, the only four programs to ever win a national championship in the sport of equestrian are the four members of the SEC: Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas A&M. The annual NCEA Championship is held in Waco, Texas, each year.
The Southern Equestrian Championships were held on campus sites on a rotating basis. Georgia won a league-leading six Southern Equestrian Championship titles, while Auburn captured three and South Carolina one.
Georgia has tallied a league-leading six overall national championships, including three consecutive from 2008-10 and most recently in 2014. Auburn and South Carolina both have three national titles, while Texas A&M each has two overall national titles.
The first-ever SEC equestrian meet was held on September 9, 2012 when Georgia hosted Texas A&M in Bishop, Ga. In March of 2013, the first-ever SEC Championship in the sport of equestrian was held in Auburn, Ala., with South Carolina taking home the inaugural trophy.

From the hills of Georgia’s northland beams thy noble brow, And the sons of Georgia rising pledge with scared vow. ‘Neath the pine trees’ stately shadow spread thy riches rare. And thy sons, dear Alma Mater, will thy treasures share. And thy daughters proudly join thee, take their rightful place, side by side into the future, equal dreams embrace. Through the ages, Alma Mater, Men will look to thee, thou the fairest of the Southland, Georgia’s Varsity. Alma Mater, thee we’ll honor, true and loyal be, ever crowned with praise and glory, Georgia, hail to thee.
