IHSA Information
Full-time undergraduate students of member colleges are eligible to compete. Riders qualify for the National Championship (Nationals) through a point system. During the year, contestants accumulate points at their IHSA local shows to qualify for the Regional Finals in their respective divisions. The top two riders in each class of the Regional Finals move forward to the Zone Finals. The top two competitors in each class at Zones qualify for Nationals.
Each region’s high-point team competes head to head with the other high-point teams in its Zone for the right to represent the Zone for National champion team honors of winning the IHSA Team Championship in the hunter seat division and the Western division.
