Alexander earns second consecutive Big 12 monthly honor

IRVING, Texas - Fresno State equestrian freshman reiner Bailey Alexander was named the Big 12 Conference Reining Rider of the Month for her efforts in November. This is Alexander's second consecutive Big 12 monthly honor as she also picked up the award in October.

Alexander earns the award after going 3-0 in November with wins against her Baylor, Georgia and UC Davis opponents. The true freshman leads the Reining squad with an undefeated 6-0 mark on the year. She has also picked up three MOP honors this fall. The freshman was also named the National Collegiate Equestrian Association November Reining Rider of the Month last week.

The Redding, Calif. native owns the highest Reining ride of the season for the Bulldogs, a 75 she scored at UC Davis on Nov. 15. Her 75 is the seventh highest in program history and highest by a Bulldog since Paige Barton tied the program record with a 76.5 on Mar. 20, 2019.

Alexander becomes the first Bulldog to earn back-to-back conference rider of the month honors since Taylor Brown was named the UEC Horsemanship Rider of the Month in September and October of 2016.

Fresno State has had a Big 12 Rider of the Month in each month of its first season with the conference. The Bulldogs are tied with Oklahoma State for most Big 12 Riders of the Month this season (4) while Baylor and TCU have two apiece.
