WACO, Texas – The National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) announced the dual and single discipline rankings through the tenth week of competition, revealed Tuesday.
 
There were no Single Discipline meets in week 10, so the rankings did not budge.
 
On the Dual Discipline side, No. 1 Auburn was upended by then-ranked No. 6 Georgia, causing the Bulldogs to rise to the No. 4 slot. The top three stayed the same, while Oklahoma State moved into the No. 5 position after splitting a pair of meets in California, falling to then-No. 7 Fresno State in a tiebreaker and overtaking UC Davis. SMU dropped from fifth to seventh with the aforementioned switchups, while South Carolina stayed in eighth. UT Martin rose one slot where Baylor fell to tenth after falling to No. 2 Texas A&M.
 
There will not be rankings for the week of December 3 as there are no competitions, and the final fall rankings will be published on December 10.

About the NCEA
A non-profit corporation, the NCEA is a governing body to advance the sport of equestrian. The NCEA is responsible for the development and administration of equestrian rules and guidelines. Equestrian is subject to all NCAA policies and procedures in the same manner as other sports. In 1998, Equestrian was identified and adopted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Committee on Women's Athletics (CWA) as an emerging sport for women at the Division I and II levels. 
 
NCEA competitions are in a head-to-head format, and schools may choose to compete as a single or dual discipline team (Jumping Seat and Western). Each discipline has two events: in Jumping Seat, Fences and Flat, and in Western, Horsemanship and Reining. Teams can have five riders per event, with horses assigned by random draw at the start of the competition. Riders from opposing teams compete on the same horse, and whichever rider receives the higher score earns one point for her team. The level of difficulty is demonstrated by the accuracy of the pattern and how the competitor uses the horse to the best of her ability.
