Campus Equestrian: Zone 8, Region 3 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 8 - REGION 3

From West Valley, Utah, Courtney Carlson of Utah State University is seen here waiting for horse draw at 2023 IHSA Nationals in Lexington, Kentucky last May 5th. Riders pulled horses off of a carousel to learn their draw numbers and that carousel can be seen on the left-hand side of this photo. Carlson was fourth at Semifinals in the individual level I western horsemanship class on March 18th to reach Nationals where she closed out her senior year with a tenth place ribbon in the division.

Normally riders from one region compete at the same semifinals event. However for reasons that Campus Equestrian does not know Aysia Casares of Rocky Mountain College (on right, with head coach Chris Brown) won the individual rookie western horsemanship division at the Findlay, Ohio Semifinal on March 18th while riders from Montana State and region champion Utah State competed at the Weirsdale, Florida semifinal. From Billings, Montana, Casares was the only Zone 8, Region 3 rider to win a class at a 2023 Semfinal event.
