Auburn Equestrian Dominance: Three Tigers Named SEC Riders of the Month for March

Buchanan, Glynn, and Marnell headline No. 1 Auburn’s surge ahead of SEC Championship showdown


AUBURN, Ala. | Auburn equestrian continues to assert its dominance on the national stage, as senior Caroline Buchanan, junior Avery Glynn, and sophomore Ariana Marnell were each named Southeastern Conference Riders of the Month for March, the league announced Tuesday.

The trio’s recognition underscores Auburn’s depth and consistency across multiple disciplines, reinforcing why the Tigers enter the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the 2026 SEC Equestrian Championship.

Buchanan earned Rider of the Month honors in Reining after delivering a standout Senior Day performance against Texas A&M on March 7. The Scottsdale, Arizona native posted a meet-best score of 70.5, defeating her opponent’s 68.25 and securing her third Most Outstanding Performer (MOP) award of the season. The accolade marks Buchanan’s first monthly honor of the year and the second of her career, highlighting her veteran leadership in a critical discipline.


On the Flat, Glynn continued her dominant campaign, capturing her second SEC Rider of the Month award this season. The Petaluma, California product recorded her 10th victory of the year with an impressive 86.5-77.5 win over Texas A&M, a meet-high score that further cemented her as one of the nation’s top performers. Glynn also earned her fifth MOP honor of the season, showcasing consistency and elite-level execution.

Marnell rounded out Auburn’s trio of honorees with her first career Rider of the Month recognition in Fences. The Las Vegas native played a pivotal role in Auburn’s sweep of the event, delivering an 88-84 victory and earning her second MOP of the season. Her performance improved her record to 8-4-0, signaling a rising star peaking at the right time for postseason competition.

The Tigers’ sweep of SEC monthly honors reflects a program firing on all cylinders as championship season begins. With elite performances across Reining, Flat, and Fences, Auburn has positioned itself as a clear contender for conference and national titles.
