The Baylor equestrian team, as did all other spring sports, had its season canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, because equestrian is technically under the National Collegiate Equestrian Association and not directly under the NCAA, equestrian athletes will not receive an extra year of eligibility.
Head coach Casie Maxwell said that almost all of the players went through “a whirlwind of emotions” when the news came out. The news was specially tough to receive because the team actually had spring break off, meaning none of the riders were on campus.
