About Us
THE INTERCOLLEGIATE HORSE SHOW ASSOCIATION
The association was founded on the principle that any college
student should be able to participate in horse shows regardless of his
or her financial status or riding level. Emphasis is on learning,
sportsmanship, and fun. Competition plays a role but the students'
enthusiasm and team spirit are the major factors. The objective of IHSA
competition is to offer the opportunity to riders in their first years
of riding as well as to students with show experience. Eliminating the
expense of shipping or even owning horses puts IHSA competitions within
reach of many who would otherwise miss the equestrian experience.
