What is involved in riding competitively?
We compete in about ten Intercollegiate Horse Show Assocation (IHSA) shows per school year. These shows are usually hosted by Purdue University, Taylor University, St. Mary of the Woods College, and the University of Notre Dame/St. Mary’s College, and are held at the facilities at which their teams train. Shows are typically held on weekends–one show on Saturday, and one show on Sunday. Most shows require team registration at 8:00am, with “Over Fences” classes beginning at 9:00am, and “On the Flat” classes beginning afterwards, at around 12:00 noon.
