IHSA ZONE 8 - REGION 4

When we took this photo of the University of British Columbia's Madison Weber she was getting ready to walk the course for the individual open over fences class which started 2024 IHSA Nationals in Mill Spring, North Carolina on May 3rd. From Vancouver, British Columbia, Weber had previously placed second in the division at 2024 Zone 8 Zones on April 6th and finished her third year by placing tenth in the country in the individual open fences at Nationals that morning. Weber was also the Region 4 IHSA Nationals Cacchione Cup entry, having placed second at Zones in the Cacchione class.

Region 4 had riders in each of the first two hunter seat classes at 2024 IHSA Nationals, as Aisha Rashid of the University of Washington was entered in the individual intermediate over fences. The senior from Los Altos, California is seen here polishing her boots in the stands within the indoor arena at Tryon International Equestrian Center on May 3rd. At Zones Rashid placed second in the individual intermediate fences to qualify for Nationals. Rashid helped lead the Huskies to their first appearance with a full hunter seat team at Zone 8 Zones in 22 years!

For the first time since the pandemic ended Region 4 qualified more than two different hunter seat riders through to IHSA Nationals (in fact four qualified and competed). Amy Kelly of the University of Oregon was the fourth and final Region 4 rider to visit the ring. A sophomore from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kelly is seen here waiting for horse draw at IHSA Nationals on May 4th. Kelly was second in individual introductory equitation at Zones in Stanford, California on April 6th to advance through to the year-end event.

Only one Region 4 Western Rider competed at 2024 IHSA Nationals and this particular rider took home the best ribbon of any region 4 rider be they Western or English. She is Caitlin Igel of the University of Washington (on right, with western coach Mara Surelle) and her first in individual beginner western horsemanship at the Murfreesboro, Tennessee Semifinal on March 23rd advanced her through to IHSA Nationals. From Lino Lakes, Minnesota, Igel finished her junior year by placing fourth in the same division at Nationals on May 3rd (photo courtesy of Mara Surelle/University of Washington Equestrian Team).
