MUET Qualifies 30 Riders for the Post Season
Now that the regular IHSA season is over, Miami’s Hunt Seat and Western teams have switched their focus to post season competition, beginning with Regionals. Riders that have earned more than 35 points in their division throughout their IHSA career move up to the next division and are invited to compete at Regionals at the end of the season.
Between both disciplines, MUET qualified a total of 30 riders to compete at Regionals this year. Hunt Seat qualified 20 people, 7 of which will compete both over fences and on the flat, and Miami will be represented in every division. Western will also represent Miami in every horsemanship division, with 10 riders qualifying for Regionals.
