Concerns over the rapid spread of COVID-19 have placed the sports world on pause, and Georgia athletics are no exception.

The Georgia equestrian team was basking in mild, sunny weather during practice last week. Fast forward to Feb. 8, and the UGA Equestrian Complex in Bishop, Georgia, was covered in snow before the match against Auburn. The Bulldogs were defeated by Auburn 12-8 on slushy terrain.

The Georgia and Auburn equestrian teams have been in close competition over the past decade and have become familiarized with each other’s horses and complexes. Saturday’s meet, however, was something they never saw coming.
