IHSA ZONE 4 - REGION 4

Four Zone 4, Region 4 riders qualified individually for 2025 IHSA Nationals in Mill Spring, North Carolina. Three of them earned top ten ribbons including Madison Clayton of Christopher Newport University (on left). From Crisfield, Maryland Clayton is seen here with Captains head coach (and former Wesleyan College rider) Dana Hooper Kiser during the February 2nd University of Mary Washington show. Clayton placed ninth in individual open on the flat at Nationals on May 2nd to close out her senior year.

From Williamsburg, Virginia, Cameron Fox of Sweet Briar College is seen here near the horse draw at 2025 IHSA Nationals within the Tryon International Equestrian Center indoor complex last May 3rd. One of two Vixens to compete at '25 Nationals, Fox concluded her junior year that day with an eighth place ribbon in the individual introductory equitation class. In 2024-25 Sweet Briar captured their sixth Region Title over the previous seven seasons.

There were eight hunter seat classes held on day one of 2025 IHSA Nationals and the seventh of the eight was individual novice equitation. And a Region 4 rider won the blue ribbon! From Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Bechtold of Randolph - Macon College (on left) poses with Yellowjackets' head coach John West after prevailing in the field of 16 novice riders at Nationals on May 2nd. Bechtold was one of a very small number of freshmen to compete in an individual class at 2025 Nationals, let alone prevail in a division.
