DAVIS, CA (MPG) – Following a standout month of November in which the University of California, Davis equestrians earned back-to-back wins over Delaware State and UT Martin, Chloe Fares, Eliza Plum, Anna Donovan and Mya Clader were each recognized with the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Riders of the Month honors.

Fares delivered a breakout month in Fences, earning points in all three meets. She opened with an 82 aboard Cici at Delaware State to secure UC Davis' first point of the event in a 4-1 Aggie victory. The sophomore then rode to an MOP-winning 86 on Salty against UT Martin, the highest score of the event; outscoring her opponent by a whopping 20 points and helping secure the event win for the Aggies. Fares closed the month with another event-high mark, an 83 on Otis against Oklahoma State, securing a crucial second point for the team.

Fares’ consistency, ability to produce under pressure and Eastern College Athletic Conference Rider of the Week recognition on Nov. 11 following the Delaware doubleheader Aggie victories, solidified her as the conference's top Fences rider for November.

Plum continued her impressive season in Horsemanship with two strong, point-earning rides. She began the month with a 66.5 aboard Cinch at Delaware State, earning UC Davis the first point of the event in a 2-2 tie. The sophomore then posted a 75 aboard Brady against UT Martin, securing MOP honors and helping lead the Aggies to a 3-0 sweep in the event. Plum closed with a competitive 74 on Penny against Oklahoma State.

Following her Eastern College Athletic Conference Rider of the Week accolade on Nov. 11 from the Delaware doubleheader weekend, Plum's precision and competitive edge made her the conference's standout Horsemanship rider for November.

Donovan anchored the Aggies' Flat squad, earning points in all three meets of the month. The sophomore opened with an 80 on Dude at Delaware State, contributing to a 4-1 event win and beating her opponent by an impressive 18 points. Donovan followed with back-to-back scores of 83, first on Peter against UT Martin, then on Calvigo against Oklahoma State; where Donovan posted the event’s highest score, beating her opponent by 14 points and helping UC Davis secure two more event victories.

Donovan's polished, composed riding throughout the month and her ability to deliver high marks in key matchups distinguished her as the conference's top Flat rider for November.

Clader once again set the tone for the Aggies in Reining, contributing pivotal rides in two of three meets. She earned UC Davis' lone point against Delaware State with a 65 aboard Aspen before posting a MOP-winning 70.5 on Delta versus UT Martin to help the team tie the event. The senior added a 71 on Mr. T against Oklahoma State, tying for the event’s highest score in another strong outing.

Clader’s reliability, poise under pressure and Eastern College Athletic Conference Rider of the Week recognition on Nov. 11 following the Delaware road wins helped secure her place as the conference's standout Reining rider for November.

The Aggies closed out the fall season but will be back in the spring to kick off their next season, starting on Jan. 28, on the road competing against Southern Methodist University.
