WHEN: Saturday and Sunday (March 17-18), 9 a.m. both days
WHERE: J.W. Ruby Research Farm, Reedsville. For directions, visit https://horses.wvu.edu/farm/directions.
Not only will this be the first time WVU has hosted IHSA Semi-Finals, but the event will be the first major equine function on the farm since a large-scale revitalization project began almost three years ago.
During a regional show last Saturday (March 10), four WVU students qualified to compete in the semi-finals show. Those students are:
- • Kaela Denno, a public health major from Budd Lake, New Jersey
- • Paige Everly, a pre-political science major from Amsterdam, Ohio
- • Olivia McHale, an animal and nutritional sciences major from Lewisburg
- • Erin Wamsley, a health informatics and information management major from Sarver, Pennsylvania
The IHSA is the largest and oldest collegiate riding association with over 400 member schools across the United States and Canada. The association was founded on the principle that any college student should be able to participate in horse shows regardless of his or her financial status or riding level.
