AUBURN, Ala. – The Auburn equestrian team and head coach Jessica Braswell announced the 2026-27 schedule Tuesday.
“I’m excited about our upcoming schedule,” Braswell said. “We have some great home meets in the fall and can’t wait to see the Auburn Family back at the equestrian center. The back half of both the spring and fall will be tough with a lot of meets on the road. Road victories are the key in the sport and the best preparation for the postseason. We are looking forward to the opportunities this schedule presents.”
