IHSA
Intercollegiate Horse Show Association
Background
Robert Cacchione and John Fritz established the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association in 1967. IHSA was developed to allow student riders of any skill level or economic background to be able to compete and succeed at their own levels of skill and experience. IHSA recognizes hunt seat and western styles of riding. However, Radford only participates in the hunt seat discipline.
Required Attire
Traditional hunt seat attire is required at all IHSA shows. This includes tall field boots, a white show shirt with collar, an approved show helmet, show breeches (olive or tan is the standard color), a black or navy show jacket, a black or brown belt, and black gloves. The rider's hair must be covering the ears and tucked neatly inside a hairnet and helmet.
IDA
Intercollegiate Dressage Association
Background
The Intercollegiate Dressage Association, IDA began in 1995 as an informal competition among a small group of colleges and secondary schools in the northeast. The organization began with a handful of college members and quickly grew to include riders from all over the US and Canada. In 2003, the IDA became a college only organization.
Required Attire
Steeped in tradition, the sport of dressage requires riders in USDF recognized competitions to wear formal dressage show attire that has an elegant appearance. This attire should include a short riding coat of conservative color, with tie, choker, stock tie or integrated stand-up collar, white or light-colored breeches, boots, and an appropriate show helmet.. A cutaway coat (modified tailcoat) with short tails is permitted. Half chaps, gaiters and/or leggings are not allowed. Gloves of conservative color are recommended.
