IHSA ZONE 4 - REGION 3

He rode once at 2023 IHSA Nationals. Luke Rogers of St. Andrews University (on right, with western coach Carla Wennberg) was second in Team Rookie Horsemanship in Lexington, Kentucky last May 6th to help the Knights finish second in the country in the Western Team Competition at Nationals. The sophomore from Dillon, South Carolina has pointed out of Rookie in 2023-24, making him one of four St. Andrews western riders to have qualified for 2024 Regionals headed into the winter break.

Through five fall hunter seat shows the University of North Carolina at Charlotte holds second place, 16 points behind St. Andrews. 49ers head coach Debbie Campbell (on right) poses with Jordan Abell shortly before she won her first appearance riding in limit flat. Abell, a senior from Lusby, Maryland, qualified for Regionals in novice equitation her previous time out.

North Carolina State University is six points behind UNC-Charlotte with at least two shows still to come. Rachel Smith of the Wolfpack (pictured) is in fourth place in the Region 3 hunter seat open rider standings. The Wolfpack western team is in second place, 19 points behind St. Andrews. An unrealated Smith, in this case Victoria Smith (not pictured), is one of two Wolfpack western riders qualified for Regionals (in on beginner western horsemanship).

From Mooresville, North Carolina, Sophie Poirier (on left) is the lone member of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to qualify for Regionals during the fall. Seen here with head coach Carter Hewett during the October 28th St. Andrews show, the Seahawks junior is qualified in intermediate fences. UNC-Wilmington finished the fall in fifth place overall in the Region 3 hunter seat team standings.

If you don't want anyone to know then don't tell him! A sophomore from Upper Saddle River, New Jersey who grew up in Manhattan, Lillian Hohn of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill poses with "Snitch," who let it slip he knows where all the horse treats are hidden! Meanwhile Hohn is the lone member of the Tar Heels to qualify for Regionals during the fall, having done so in limit flat (she told us than, not Snitch). UNC-Chapel Hill is fourth place in the Region 3 hunter seat team standings.

From Thomasville, North Carolina, Logan Riley of East Carolina University (on right) poses with head coach Caroline Jackson after winning the third class of the day on October 28th which was the first of two sections of limit fences. The Pirates will likely host one of the early 2024 Region 3 hunter seat shows, possibly on February 11th.

Though the dates were not yet set (and Snitch wouldn't tell us either) it is likely that St. Andrews University will host a hunter seat show sometime in February of 2024. Through the fall the Knights have the leading Region 3 hunter seat open rider in Savannah Hutto (pictured). A junior from Timmonsville, South Carolina, Hutto was named High Point Rider on October 28th following a "Question Off" with judge Carole O'Brien (which also involved Kaitlyn Lisenby of UNC-Charlotte and St. Andrews teammate Abigail Rhea, the latter of who was reserve high point).
