Greg McGarity J. Reid Parker Director Of Athletics
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 injected a program of imagination and innovation into the Georgia Athletic Association with emphasis on exploring new ideas and initiatives designed to move the organization forward in all areas of competition, academics, and service. Among the many initiatives are implementation of a nutrition program for all sports, greater emphasis on customer service as well as community service, scoreboard upgrades enhancing the in-game experience for guests and patrons in all sports, and development of leadership programs fostering staff development. In addition, he has encouraged the experimentation of new ideas such as moving volleyball competition to Stegeman Coliseum and helping bring a soldout concert (Jason Aldean, 65,000) to Sanford Stadium for the first time in stadium history. He was also instrumental in development and implementation along with Nike of a new brand identity program, which brings consistency in use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals to Georgia sports teams. McGarity oversees a 21-sport athletics program supported by a budget of $117 million. Since becoming Director of Athletics, Georgia teams have won national championships in women’s swimming and diving (2013 and ’14) and equestrian (2014) and SEC championships in men’s tennis (2011, ’13, ’14, and ‘15), men’s tennis SEC Tournament (2012 and ’13), women’s tennis (2013), women’s tennis SEC Tournament (’14), 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 that time, 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 Director’s 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.

Since his arrival, Georgia student-athletes have been the recipients of eight NCAA Post Graduate Scholarships, 21 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 Awards. In addition, he has been at the forefront of facility expansion and renovation. Recently completed are 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, as well as improvements in rest rooms and concessions stands. In addition, a new Indoor Athletic Facility is scheduled to be constructed adjacent to the Butts-Mehre Building, which will provide a facility for all sports to utilize.

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.

During her time with the Bulldogs, Boenig has led the program to unprecedented heights including five national titles, six Southern Equestrian Championships, three reserve championships and a 50-3 dual-meet record at home. Boenig also helped lead the charge of having Varsity Equestrian restructure to the National Collegiate Equestrian Association in the fall of 2011. 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 an 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. Under her leadership, the 2012-13 Georgia equestrian team finished the season with a 9-5 dual-meet record and its third-straight Reserve National Championship. The Bulldogs also led the Southeastern Conference with 11 all-conference selections and had two riders earn SEC Rider of the Year honors.

Boenig lead the 2011-12 equestrian team to a regular season record of 11-2, a 10-meet win streak, a No. 1 ranking and its second Reserve National Championship. Along the way, the Bulldogs defeated nine ranked teams, including a season-sweep of Auburn and South Carolina. The Bulldogs finished second at the Southern Equestrian Championship before claiming its third Reserve Championship and second in as many years. During the 2010-11 campaign, the Bulldogs again were competing for a championship, when they took on Southeastern Conference foe Auburn in the finals of the VENC National Championship. Georgia came away with its second Reserve Championship, falling 51-49 to the Tigers. The Bulldogs defeated Auburn in the Western Division to finish third overall in the discipline, but Auburn edged Georgia on the Hunt Seat side. Georgia spent the first months of the 2009-10 season finding its way but the Bulldogs closed their season by winning yet another national crown. This time they needed the first “ride-off” in the sport’s history to edge Texas A&M in the overall standings. In addition, two Georgia Hunt Seaters, Michelle Morris and Emma Lipman, claimed individual championships, the third and fourth such honors in Georgia history. Boenig has made great strides in developing Georgia’s equestrian program from Square One. The number of riders has tripled from 24 to near 70, while the number of horses has more than quadrupled going from 12 to over 60. In addition, the staff has grown from Boenig, on her own, to eight full-time members. Beyond Athens, Boenig is heavily involved in shaping the development of varsity equestrian, which is classified as an “emerging” sport by the NCAA. She serves on the Varsity Steering Committee that governs the sport through biannual coaches’ meetings and has been its Chairperson for two seasons. She was also a leading advocate for the bracketed tournament format that is currently in existence. Boenig initiated varsity equestrian’s departure from the meet format associated with the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA), under whose auspices Georgia competed in 2003. She helped introduce the dual-meet format that SEC schools now use, competing by proposed NCAA rules designed to make the sport more competitive and fan-friendly. 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. The couple are proud parents of two sons, Josef and Mathew.

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
• To provide amateur equestrian student-athletes the opportunity to compete in a collegiate national championship event • To promote for equal collegiate opportunities for female athletes through collegiate level equestrian competition • To assist in the development of amateur equestrian student-athletes through collegiate level equestrian competition • To promote the advancement of Equestrian from emerging to championship status with NCAA • To generate growth of and interest in Equestrian activity via the marketing, promotion and publicity of sport benefits to universities, riders, prospective studentathletes, parents, horse industry professionals and sponsors • To support the enhancement of participating institutions who offer varsity level collegiate equestrian programs • To preserve the integrity of the sport through ongoing rule and format development
Can Student-athletes receive course credit? Some Universities will offer class credit for participation

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.

GEORGIA EQUESTRIAN
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA Creating exceptional experiences for a lifetime.
In January of 1785 — two years after the Revolutionary War — the Georgia legislature adopted the charter that created the University of Georgia. In founding the nation’s first state university, the legislature also gave birth to the American system of public higher education. Over the past 220 years, Georgia and its university have grown together as partners in a burgeoning prosperity that has made the University a fast-track contender for educational pre-eminence. With more than 33,400 students, a work force of more than 9,000 and an annual budget of over $1.4 billion, the University of Georgia is Georgia’s largest, oldest and most comprehensive educational institution. Widely recognized for excellence in instruction, research and public service, the University has moved into the ranks of America’s foremost public universities.
