IHSA ZONE 1 - REGION 3

Photo
Stamford, Connecticut may not be horse country, but the city produced the runner-up in the individual beginner western horsemanship class at 2023 IHSA Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky last May 7th. He is Collin McLaughlin of the University of Connecticut (on left, with Huskies western coach Jeremy Mimitz), who was second in a field of 12 riders in individual beginner at the Kentucky Horse Park to close out his senior year at the Storrs, Connecticut school. The UConn hunter seat team competes in Region 5 of Zone 1 but due to smaller western numbers throughout the zone Regions 3 and 5 ride as one region for western.


Photo
Mount Holyoke College and UConn both had two western riders entered at 2023 IHSA Nationals. From Harvard, Massachusetts, Lili Evans (on left) was the first of two Mount Holyoke riders to place ninth in an individual class over the four day weekend. Lyons western coach Kelli Wainscott (on right) saw Evans place ninth in individual level II western horsemanship in Lexington on May 6th to close out her freshman year. Since the pandemic ended Mount Holyoke has captured back-to-back Western Region Titles.
Photo
Mount Holyoke College head coach C.J. Law (on left) will celebrate a full 40 years in that capacity in 2024, as she took over the head coaching position from John Moffatt in mid-1984. So far Law has led the Lyons to IHSA hunter seat National Championships three times, in 1986, 2000 and 2006. On the right is Cammile Cheng of the Lyons, a junior from Goleta, California who pointed out of intermediate fences at the 2023-24 season opener hosted by Williams College.

No Limit for these two, at least not again until Regionals! Eva Mabboux (on right, pronounced 'Mah-Boo'), a University of Massachusetts at Amherst senior from Arlington, Massachusetts, was already qualified for Regionals in both limit divisions when this photo was taken at their October 22nd home show. Teammate Elizabeth Downing (on left), a junior from Medway, Massachusetts, was already qualified in limit fences but needed one point at Muddy Brook Farm in limit flat. Downing was third in limit flat later that day to secure a second ride at the Regionals show sometime in late March.
Photo
From Northborough, Massachusetts, Worcester State University senior Ciara Goellner (on right) also received a third place ribbon on October 22nd that sent her through to Regionals. Seen here with head coach Courtney Germain, Goellner was a yellow ribbon winner in her limit fences class to clinch a post-season ride in the division.

When school is not in session Willow Vince of Amherst College (pictured) trains with two IHSA coaches found outside of Zone 1. The sophomore from Verbank, New York trains with Marist College head coach Clare Knapp and Centenary University co-coach Michael Dowling. Through three shows Vince was sitting in third place within the Region 3 hunter seat open rider standings. And Vince won the first section of open fences which kicked off the 10/22 UMass show.
Photo
Through three fall shows Springfield College sat comfortably in third place. This was also true on 10/22, as the Pride scored 30 points behind UMass (with 35) and Mount Holyoke (with 47). Leila Osorio of Springfield (on left, with her Mother) won twice on 10/22, the freshman from Canterbury, Connecticut taking home blue ribbons in both limit divisions.
Photo
Two schools brought only one single rider to the 10/22 UMass show, with one of them being Williams College. Head coach Lisa DeMayo (on right) was one of the three stewards, and she watched the show patiently waiting for Olivia Johnson (on left) to ride in the 20th of 21 classes held that day. A sophomore from Bennington, Vermont, Johnson placed fifth in her novice equitation class to score two points for the Ephs.
Photo
Johnson is from Bennington, and coincidentally the other school with only one rider present was Bennington College. Kaylee Dalian (on left), a freshman from East Quogue, New York, rode in the 14th class of the day. Dalian placed fifth in limit flat which meant that Bennington also scored two points. Bennington head coach Tara Lowary (on right) said there are a few other Bennington riders who will compete at upcoming events.
Photo
Juliet Bolduc of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (pictured) spent the 2022-23 season abroad in Namibia but the senior from Lewiston, Maine holds hope that her carry-over points from two seasons ago will lead her to regionals in one of the limit divisions. WPI will celebrate their fifth anniversary of joining the IHSA in less than a year, as the Goats made their IHSA debut in the fall of 2019.
Photo
Smith College had eight riders entered at the October 22nd UMass show including Adela Hoffman (pictured, holding "Bits"). From Red Hook, New York, Hoffman was the first of three Smith riders to compete in novice equitation, placing fifth.
Photo
New to Region 3 this season is former Zone 1, Region 4 school Bentley University. Having switched barns between seasons the Falcons are now coached by Tamara Johnston (on right), whose facility is closer to the other Region 3 schools. Liliana D'Amico (on left), a junior from Park Falls, Wisconsin won the 21st and final class of the day for Bentley, which finished the day in fourth place overall in the Region 3 hunter seat team standings headed into the October 28th Mount Holyoke show.
