DALLAS (SMU) – No. 7 SMU equestrian is set to host No. 4 Texas A&M on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m. CT at the Dallas Equestrian Center. The following day, Friday, Nov. 14, the Mustangs will travel to Waco, Texas, to battle No. 9 Baylor at 11 a.m. CT.
The Aggies lead the all-time series record 14-9 against SMU. In their last meeting on Feb. 1, 2025, the Mustangs claimed a 13-6 victory. In the 2025-26 season, Texas A&M has earned a 3-2 record.
While Baylor leads the all-time series record 13-8, SMU has won the last eight meets dating back to 2017. Last time out, the Mustangs dominated the Bears 15-3 at home on November 9, 2024. Baylor has gone 1-4 so far this fall campaign.
In their most recent match, the Mustangs dropped a tiebreaker match to No. 3 Auburn 10-10 (1646.75-1645.38). SMU nabbed both Western MOPs, with Ava Blyth earning the honor for Horsemanship and Makenna Bomke claiming the Reining MOP. With Blyth's MOP-earning performance, the Mustangs have now been awarded 20 straight Horsemanship MOPs, dating back to the 2024 season opener against TCU on Sept. 20.
Currently, SMU has three riders who have an unblemished record. Western riders Alexa Black and Madison Rafacz own 3-0-0 records in Horsemanship and Reining, respectively. Aedan Mooney has been perfect in Jumping Seat, going 1-0-0 on Fences and 3-0-0 on Flat.
SMU had a great end to the month of September, with riders earning both Arion Western Riders of the Month. Sophomore Violet Shetler was named NCEA Horsemanship Rider of the Month after defeating South Carolina's Lillian Laney 78-77.5 on Sept. 26, nabbing the third MOP of her career. At her first-ever collegiate meet, freshman Madison Rafacz bested the Gamecocks' Gracie Mae Stinger 74-73.5, earning the first MOP of her career. Rafacz's performance was also named the NCEA Western Ride of the Week.
