The Intercollegiate Horse Show Association or IHSA is an equestrian organization established in 1967 by Bob Cacchione when he was a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. It was begun to promote the ability of any college student to participate in horse shows as individuals or in teams regardless of the rider's beginning skill level, financial status, or past riding experience. The association also emphasizes education, sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and team spirit through intercollegiate equine competition. The IHSA has 31 Regions in 8 Zones with more than 370 college teams in 45 states and Canada. There are more than 8300 active competition riders. Both men and women are eligible to compete.

Famous quotes containing the words horse, show and/or association:
“The steed bit his master;
How came this to pass?
He heard the good pastor
Cry, ‘All flesh is grass.’”

“The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opponents than from his fervent supporters. For his supporters will push him to disaster unless his opponents show him where the dangers are. So if he is wise he will often pray to be delivered from his friends, because they will ruin him. But though it hurts, he ought also to pray never to be left without opponents; for they keep him on the path of reason and good sense.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
