Head Coach Gary Reynolds enters his third season coming off a very successful 2008 season. Under his direction the Horned Frogs have an impressive collection of accolades in their young, two-year old program. These accolades include appearances at the National Championships in both 2007 and 2008, while bringing home a 2008 Varsity Equestrian Western National Championship win. In just the second year of its program, Reynolds led TCU to a 2008 National Champion win on the western side. The Frogs entered the tournament as the nation's No. 1 seed and finished the season with a perfect 15-0 record. TCU beat No. 2 seed and rival Georgia in the Western final with a score of 1,027-1,026. In his first campaign, Reynolds led the Frogs to their first National Championship bid, earning a berth on the western side, and becoming the first school in Varsity Equestrian history to reach the postseason in just its first year. On March 1, 2007, TCU earned its first win in school history, defeating then-defending national champion Auburn 9-7. Reynolds holds judge cards in several of the larger equine breed registries. He has also officiated at numerous national and international world shows, stock shows, major circuits and futurities. Reynolds managed Shepherds Valley Arena in Benbrook, Texas, from 1997-99. He supervised arena operations as the facility hosted equine events from cuttings and team ropings to summer youth ministry camps. Reynolds was director of amateur events/assistant director of shows for seven years for the American Quarter Horse Association. He managed daily functions and was the arena director for 14 world championship shows. A native of Canyon, Texas, and a 1981 graduate of Texas Tech, Reynolds received a Bachelor's degree in animal business. Reynolds and his wife, Tammy, have a five-year old daugther, Kalena. |
