EVENT CALENDAR

IHSA Competition Calendar

The IHSA competition season runs from August through May, aligned with the collegiate academic calendar.

The IHSA is organized into eight Zones, 39 Regions and 20 Western Areas. Each year, each Region hosts 5-10 hunter seat regular season IHSA shows and each Western Area hosts 5-10 Western regular season IHSA horse shows.

Following the completion of the regular season, each Region and Western Area will hold a Regional Championship. Qualified hunter seat riders and teams then proceed to their Zone Championships. Qualified Western riders and teams will head to one of three Western Semi-Finals. From there, teams and riders qualify for the capstone event of the year—the IHSA National Championship.
