#3 Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Founder Bob Cacchione

Founded by Bob Cacchione in 1967 when he was a sophomore at Farleigh Dickinson University, the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association’s goal is to give college students the opportunity to participate in equestrian competition regardless of financial status or riding level. The organization welcomes beginners through advanced riders in hunter-seat equitation, Western horsemanship and reining. These riders can compete both individually and on a team. With more than 400 colleges that participate and more than 10,000 members, the IHSA eliminates the expenses of horse ownership. Horses for the local, regional and zone competitions as well as the IHSA National championship are furnished by host colleges. To ensure fairness, at each competition, students draw to find out the horses they will be riding, In this episode, Bob, the IHSA’s executive director, and Peter Cashman, the IHSA’s first president discuss the IHSA’s mission, how Bob started it and how it works, from the regional level to the National Championship. They also talk about the educational and life-skills experiences the IHSA provides as well as the camaraderie between students and colleges.  Hosted on Acast.

The Practical Horseman Podcast - Bob Cacchione and Peter Cashman

Today’s guest on Because of Horses is Bob Cacchione — a living legend in the horse world — and one to whom so many owe immense gratitude for founding the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA)!   Though the IHSA has helped countless young equestrians explore their competitive riding talents and dreams, their origins were pretty humble. Bob was an 18-year-old sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey when his parents told him they would no longer pay for his riding. Rather than have that be the end of it, Bob negotiated free use of horses at a local stable in exchange for giving riding lessons, where he then gathered what soon became a competitive team. Next, when he held a show using donated horses, nearby colleges caught wind of the event and what began as a small group of riders soon grew exponentially over the ensuing years. Now, it’s a huge network, including almost 400 colleges across the U.S. and over 8,300 riders in hunt seat equitation, western horsemanship, and reining.   Beyond all this though, the organization is about so much more! In a world where show-winners are often those who can afford the finest horses, the IHSA truly levels the playing field. Countless young riders and adult equestrians have Bob to thank for that! In this episode, Bob shares stories of alumni who have gone on to do incredible things in the horse world, gives his take on how he has seen the evolution of youth competition, his predictions on the future of riding, some incredibly touching (and funny!) stories from those who have been involved in the IHSA, and what makes IHSA so remarkable!

He also describes how the events themselves are set up and how they level the playing field.

[8:52] Why Bob believes many of those who ride with IHSA go on to remarkable careers in the horse world beyond competing.
