WACO, TX For the second straight season, the Georgia Bulldogs claimed the overall team title on Saturday at the Varsity Equestrian National Championships (VENC), held at the Heart O Texas Fair and Rodeo Complex in Waco, TX. The win marked Georgias fourth VENC national championship. In addition, the Bulldogs took home the Hunter Seat team championship, their fourth and the first since 2004, while Texas A&M claimed its third VENC Western title and first since 2005.

In the Hunter Seat championship round, Georgia, the brackets second seed, soundly defeated the top-seeded Auburn Tigers, 7-1. The Bulldogs streaked off to a 4-0 Flat sweep and continued its excellent riding with a 3-1 triumph in fences over Bobby Murphys creative and challenging championship course. Emma Lipman, Michelle Morris, Katie Hagerty and Haylie Jayne all posted Flat wins while Jayne, Lipman and Kelley Cowperthwait all won in Fences. Maggie McAlary recorded Auburns lone win earning a point in Fences.

Top-seeded Texas A&M triumphed over defending champion TCU, 7-1 to convincingly claim the championship Western trophy. Horsemanship was especially strong for the Aggies as they swept all four rides. Claiming wins for the Aggies were Randi Standley, Caroline Gunn, Katie Lisabeth and Sibyl Parsons. Maggie Gratny, Genna Fishgold and Amanda Ryan all registered Reining wins for Texas A&M, while Carrie Von Uhlit claimed the only TCU victory on the night, a win in Reining.

In individual competition Georgia swept the top two spots in Fences with a win by Jayne, the brackets top seed, followed by a second place finish by Cowperthwait, a No. 7 seed. Oklahoma States Ally Blais, seeded second, claimed the top spot in Flat by beating fifth-seeded Victoria Middleton of South Carolina. Texas A&Ms Gunn, seeded No. 1, repeated as Horsemanship national champion with a win over second-seeded Courtney Chown of TCU. TCUs Von Uhlit, a No. 2 seed, won a squeaker in Reining over eighth-seeded Bri Parnell of Oklahoma State, 142.5-142.
