The Ohio State Hunt Seat Equestrian Club is a university sport club. Under the instruction of our coaching staff at Colter Equestrian, competitive members have the opportunity to show, representing Ohio State in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA).

​

IHSA, founded in 1967, believes that any college rider should be able to afford to show. This innovative organization created a system where each show’s host provides the horses and tack; riders draw their mounts for each class at random and are judged on their equitation on a horse they have never ridden before. Each placing brings a specific amount of points, and if enough points are earned, riders can qualify for Regional, Zone, and National competitions. With eight levels of Hunt Seat competition, there is a place for riders of all experience levels.

The team is a member of Zone 6, Region 2— our competitors include Ohio University, Otterbein University, Denison University, University of Dayton,  Wilmington College, and Tiffin University. OSU HSET encourages students to join; we have three levels of membership (competitive, noncompetitive, and social) to accommodate all levels of interest.
