IHSA ZONE 8 - REGION 2

The University of Southern California got on the scoreboard during the first hunter seat team class held at 2022 IHSA Nationals courtesy of Cory Williams (on right). Seen here with Trojans head coach Kat Griffiths, the senior from Santa Barbara, California placed fifth in team limit over fences. While many would think this equaled two points for the Trojans the scoring system is different at an IHSA Nationals event. Ten points are awarded for first, eight for second, seven for third all the way down to a half point for tenth. Therefore Williams, who also competed at 2019 IHSA Nationals as a freshman, put five points on the scoreboard for SoCal.

Sometimes plans change on a moment's notice. At Zone 8 Zones on April 9th in Stanford, California August Decker-Curry of Cal Poly-Pomona finished third in the individual limit on the flat. With only the top two moving on to IHSA Nationals it appeared this was the final IHSA ride for the senior coincidentally from Pomona, California. But then on May 4th at 8:00AM Pacific Time someone contacted Decker-Curry to say that one of the two riders who placed above her at Zones will not be competing at Nationals, and if she wanted to she was welcome to compete at Nationals in that rider's place. Amazingly Decker-Curry was able to make all the necessary travel arrangements and was at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 24 hours later! Decker-Curry is seen here in the stands in Harrisburg a few hours before she placed ninth in the nation in individual limit flat.

From Charlotte, North Carolina, Elle Oldre of the University of Arizona (pictured) is seen here near horse draw for the individual open flat class at 2022 IHSA Nationals on May 5th. North Carolina is also home to St. Andrews University, and the director of riding at St. Andrews comes up with a different way to do the horse draw every year at Nationals. Her name is Peggy McElveen (not pictured), and this year she used her train set to match rider numbers to train cars. You can see the train set in back of Oldre on the right. We are not sure which horse Oldre drew that day, but it was a pretty good match as Oldre finished fifth in the nation in individual open flat.

While Williams, Decker-Curry and Oldre were all members of the class of 2022 Isabella Anderson of the University of California at San Diego (pictured) is a member of the class of 2023. From Encinitas, California, Anderson was second at Zones in individual limit on the flat on April 9th to advance to 2022 IHSA Nationals. Anderson is seen here with a saddlepad she won at Nationals (among several prizes) for placing seventh in the nation in individual limit flat in Harrisburg on May 5th. The Tritons will host the first Region 2 hunter seat shows of 2022-23 over the October 22/23 weekend at Hansen Dam. However on the 22nd the first Region 2 Western shows since before the pandemic will take place at Cal Poly-Pomona's Kellogg Arabian Horse Center. Needless to say it will be a busy weekend in Region 2.
