Abroad spotlight with Kaelin Taylor📸
We always enjoy seeing what our riders are up to in and out of the saddle! Hear more about Kaelin's time abroad:

This spring semester I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland! I am so thankful for the amazing adventures, memories made, and people I met along the way that made Ireland a forever home. I’ll miss my time abroad, but i couldn’t be more excited to get back to the team that has had such an impact on my time at Auburn. Ready for another year! War Eagle 💙🧡

We always found a way to have fun together whether we were getting ice cream after dinner at the hotel, playing spoons, or rolling down any hill we could find! I will also always cherish all of my practice groups when we would sit in the locker room catching up before or hyping each other up after! I am so grateful for everyone on this team and I will never forget all the amazing memories!”
