Coming up soon At the TTEC
The Texas Tech Equestrian Center is honored to host the IHSA Hunt Seat Zone Show, where top collegiate riders from across the region compete for a chance to advance to IHSA Nationals. This prestigious event showcases exceptional equitation, sportsmanship, and the unique catch-ride format that defines IHSA competition.
The Texas Tech Equestrian Team is open to any undergraduate student, regardless of major or classification who wants to ride and compete on a collegiate level. "Catch Riding" is what makes the IHSA format different and more difficult than any other. Each rider in a class draws a horse out of a hat, and with no warm up goes into the show ring to compete for individual & team points.
Performances: 7PM
