Western Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Semi-Finals Results from University of Findlay
The Western Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Semi-Finals were held at the University of Findlay on March 24 and 25. The schools competing at the semi-finals had to qualify at Regionals first, and now the top four will go on to Nationals the first weekend in May. There were individual qualifiers and team qualifiers for each class, as well as overall team winners. An individual exhibitor may qualify, but not necessarily their team, or the team rider can qualify, but not the individual.
