The Fresno State equestrian team played half a season last year due to COVID-19. The riders did not expect their first season in the Big 12 conference to end abruptly in March 2020.
By the time the season was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team was ranked No. 4 in the nation and won meets against Oklahoma State, Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M, Texas Christian University (TCU) and Baylor, ending its season 5-6 overall. Fresno State recorded a program-best with seven All-Americans, including Hannah Buijs in horsemanship and Cecily Hayes earning an honorable mention for her performance in fences and flat.
