Campus Equestrian: Zone 1, Region 4 Home Page

IHSA ZONE 1 - REGION 4

Region 4 of Zone 1 had the best of the individual results at Zone 1 Zones in South Hadley, Massachusetts on April 4th. Five Region 4 riders placed top two individually, with one rider placing in the top two twice. Also the Region 4 Cacchione rider made it through to Nationals. Tufts University had two riders entered and both won blue ribbons. Jumbos head coach Alli Mitchell (center) is seen here at 2026 IHSA Nationals with Paris Chang (on left) and Sydney Thompson (on right). At Zones Chang (a junior from San Francisco, California) won the individual limit on the flat while Thompson (a senior from Devon, Pennsylvania) won individual intermediate on the flat a short time later. At Nationals Chang finished seventh in individual limit flat, which turned out to be the best ribbon earned by a Region 4 rider at '26 Nationals.

Katherine Nolan of the University of Connecticut (on left) and Huskies head coach Avery Sutton take over the golf cart at 2026 IHSA Nationals while waiting to hear where Nolan placed in the individual limit over fences on May 1st. The golf cart was used to take former IHSA executive director Bob Cacchione from the hunter seat ring to the western ring on the other side of the Tryon International Equestrian Center indoor for awards presentations. From Larchmont, New York, Nolan concluded her junior year in Storrs with a tenth in the individual limit fences.

Can you tell which team Sidra Tully's Father is rooting for? Mr. Tully is rooting for Boston University, and both are waiting in the horse draw area at IHSA Nationals on May 1st to see whom Sidra will be competing on. Previously the Terriers senior from Bristol, Rhode Island was second in individual novice equitation at Zones on April 4th to qualify for Nationals in the division.

Mount Ida College may no longer be in business but one of their former riders is now an assistant coach at Stonehill College. Molly Ladd (on left) is now the assistant to Kristen Redquest (on right), and both are seen here with freshman Cora Cotman Jenkins of the Sky Hawks on the floor of the Tryon International indoor at IHSA Nationals in Mill Spring, North Carolina on May 2nd. With a third at Zones in the Cacchione Cup classes Cotman Jenkins qualified for Nationals in the division. From Wayland, Massachusetts, Cotman Jenkins just missed the top ten in the Cacchione class, technically ranking thirteenth in the class of the top 24 IHSA hunter seat open riders nationwide for the 2025-26 season.

Seen here at the October 19th Brandeis University show, Abigail Abbott of Bridgewater State University qualified for Zones in the individual open on the flat division. A junior from Wareham, Massachusetts, Abbott was fourth in the open flat at Zones on April 4th.

Three Region 4 riders rode twice individually at Zones: Delphine Gareau of Boston College, Thompson of Tufts and Sean Mulleady (pictured) of Boston University. From Pound Ridge, New York, Mulleady won the individual open on the flat while placing second in the individual open over fences on May 4th to earn a pair of rides at Nationals. Mulleady, who will be a senior during the 2026-27 season, finished only one point behind Cottman Jenkins in the Region 4 open rider standings. And Mulleady (as well as Tully) helped the Terriers capture their first Region Title in three seasons.
