What is IHSA?
IHSA is the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, which sanctions those shows in which the equestrian team competes. IHSA offers many opportunities to college students, including show experience at regional, zone and national levels. They offer scholarships and much more. IHSA membership includes about 360 colleges and universities and over 8,300 students from across the nation, divided into geographical regions. All IHSA competitions are judged solely on the rider. A random draw determines the horse each rider will compete on for each class at each show. Q: How much does it cost? A: This is the cheapest way to show horses. If you are used to carting your horse and all that goes with him to the show, you will welcome the change of pace. If you just want to be involved but are not planning on riding and showing the cost is $50 per semester. Taking lessons from our coach is required if you are planning on showing. Lessons cost $425 per semester (two lessons per week) which breaks down
