After boasting several key victories last season, the Hunt Seat program will lean heavily on Perry and junior Nicole Diamantis during the early portion of its schedule. Perry finished the 2013-14 campaign garnering 13 victories between on the Flat and over Fences, respectively, while Diamantis garnered two MOP's on the year en route to an impressive 17 overall victories. Look for sophomore Molly Peddicord to also have a huge impact on TCU's success this fall in Equitation over Fences after going 10-5-1 overall in her first year in the program. She was even more impressive during post-season action a year ago, recording a 3-1 mark.
On the Western side, the Purple and White will look to duplicate and improve upon their recent success after returning their entire lineup that competed on the final day of nationals. Leading the way for TCU this season will once again be Child who is poised to put the finishing touches on one of the most decorated careers in program history. The Oregon native is a two-time All-America honoree and was also named the 2014 Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She heads into her final season after being honored as one of the best riders in the country this past school year, going 12-4 overall with two MOP's in Reining.
St. Hilaire also returns after having one of the most successful debut campaigns in school history after transferring from Texas A&M. She rode to a 9-4-3 overall mark in Reining with one MOP last season, but more importantly went 3-1-2 during league play.
Look for senior Calli Rouse and Rylee Morgan to also play big factors on the outcome of the upcoming season for the Purple and White in Horsemanship. Rouse turned in a great junior campaign, scoring three MOP rides, while recording a 9-7 overall record in Horsemanship, including a 3-3 league mark. Morgan was just as impressive as she was honored as the Big 12 Horsemanship Rider of the Month after going undefeated in conference competition during the month of February. The Utah native was also named the Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Performer in Horsemanship. In all, she went 8-3-0 during the course of the season, including an impressive 4-0 in post-season action.
TCU opens its 2014-15 campaign at Delaware State on Friday, Oct. 3. The Frogs' home opener in Springtown is set for Saturday, Nov. 1 versus league foe Oklahoma State.
