TCU freshman Lily Muzzy was named Big 12 Fences Rider of the Year for the 2025-26 season, and five Horned Frogs riders earned All-Big 12 honors, according to a March 26 announcement from the conference.

The recognition highlights a strong year for TCU’s women’s equestrian team. These awards underscore both individual achievements and overall team performance in collegiate equestrian competitions.

Muzzy had a standout freshman campaign with a record of nine wins and three losses, collecting four Most Outstanding Performer (MOP) awards. Her top performances included victories against UC Davis and Fresno State on the road, as well as home and neutral-site wins over UC Davis and Delaware State. In conference play, she recorded four wins out of six matches, including an MOP-winning ride at Fresno State.

Other Horned Frogs receiving All-Big 12 honors were Lilly Goldstein (Fences and Flat), Lex Lipacis (Flat), Piper Keller (Horsemanship), and Cassie Hacking (Reining). Goldstein posted a nine-win season in Fences as a junior, finishing strong by winning eight of her last nine rides. She also went undefeated on the road in conference play. On Flat, Goldstein achieved an eight-win season with two MOPs against top-ranked Georgia and Fresno State.

Lipacis ended her senior year with seven wins—five coming against Big 12 opponents—and closed out by winning three of her last four matches. Keller excelled as a freshman in Horsemanship with eight wins—including two MOPs—and secured key points on the road at Oklahoma State. Hacking led TCU’s Reining squad with seven wins in her first collegiate season, losing only one road match while earning two MOPs against Baylor and Auburn.

These accolades reflect TCU’s continued presence among leading programs in collegiate equestrian competition.
