HUDSON OAKS, Texas - The No. 3 Auburn equestrian team dropped a tough competition to No. 6 TCU Saturday, falling 11-7 at October Hill Farm in Hudson Oaks, Texas.
The Tiger hunt seat riders remained undefeated, winning both events and 6-3 overall.
"Our hunt seat riders continue to roll and remain undefeated," said head coach Greg Williams. "Despite some great rides by our western squads, we couldn't score high enough to pick up points to win. Congratulations to the TCU girls for their win."

In western horsemanship, TCU (3-0) swept the Tigers 5-0, despite junior Kristin Hansen scoring a 76 and sophomore Indy Roper scoring a 78.
The Tigers took equitation on the flat 3-2, led by high scores from freshman Piper Donnelly and junior Maggie McAlary. Winners included Anna Becker over Tassie Munroe 79-78, Donnelly over MVP Callie Selchau 85-82 and McAlary over Melinda Peters 84-68.
