The
Tech Equestrian Team
represents Texas Tech
University in equestrian
competitions at
Intercollegiate Horse Show
Association (IHSA)
affiliated shows. The
team consists of both hunt
seat and western teams that
compete in several events,
including hunt seat
equitation on the flat and
over fences, western
horsemanship, and reining.
All
riders are placed into skill
levels based on riding and
horse show experience.
This ensure that riders
compete against other with
similar background at the
shows. When traveling
to IHSA shows, participants
compete using the host
university's horses and
tack. Riders draw a
horse to ride at random and
proceed to mount and enter
the arena to show. No
warm or practice time is
allowed. It is a true
test of horsemanship.
Riders earn points for
placing in their classes.
If a rider accumulates the
required points, they
advance to the next division
and qualify for the
post-season championships.
Our
team is a member of the IHSA
and competes in Zone 7,
Region 1 competitions. We
compete against schools
across west Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Kansas,
Wyoming, and Nebraska.
The Tech Equestrian Team
offers a unique challenge to
any level rider.
Experience, tack, and
horse-ownership are not
required or needed.
