Get the IHSA mug.The Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. This is the main national college riding association. Colleges have teams that travel together to shows, where the riders compete for both individual and team honors.
The levels (which a rider is placed into by the Association based on experience) are Walk-Trot, Walk-Trot-Canter, Novice Flat & Fences, Intermediate Flat & Fences, and Open Flat & Fences. Riders in all classes ride horses whose names they have drawn from a hat, and who they have not ridden before.
Riders ribboning in first through sixth place are awarded points; 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. Once a rider earns 35 points in a class, cumulative over their collegiate career, they qualify for Regional competition as an individual. Open riders' points do not carry over from year to year, as there is a special class at IHSA Nationals for high-point Open riders from each region. 30 points are required to qualify for Regional competition as an Open rider.
The top three riders in each class at Regionals advance to the Zones competition. From Zones, the top two riders move on to compete in the Nationals competition.
In order to advance a full team to Zones, a team must win high-point team in their Region. Top teams from the Zones competition advance to Nationals.

Get the Ihsahn mug.There's a deep meaning of "Ihsaan". He is a person devoted to God. He is humble, honest, transparent, compassionate and very friendly. Always trying to help others, he forgets about himself and is ready to take risks. He is always kind towards others. In other words he is one of a kind and unique. Despite having such an amazing personality he never boasts about it. He is man of principles. Having a creative mind and a great sense of humor he is able to influence others and he is a great councilor too. Not trying to be famous, he is down to earth and close to his friends. He is a motivator, successfully motivating others. He has great vision and knows exactly where to go. He's dependent on God in every aspect of life. Being an influential personality, he writes amazingly and his writings have a deep meaning. In Arabic context Ihsaan (Arabic: إحسان ʾiḥsān, also Romanized Ehsan), means "perfection" or "excellence" (Ara. husn).
Prophet Muhammad states, "Ihsaan is to worship God as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then indeed He sees you". (Al-Bukhari and Al-Muslim).

Get the ihsan mug.The most beautiful woman you’ll ever get to meet. She might be all shy and blushy and quiet when you see her but when you actually get to know her she’s fun, funny, loud (not in a negative way) , creative, adventurous, etc. She’s probably always laughing. That you might even find her in the hallways (if at school) or a resteraunt or a street (if public) just laughing in her own special way. When she smiles she brightens the room and touches people’s hearts. She’s always open towards new people and she’s so easy to talk to . She might seem tough but deep inside she’s super sensitive. She’s protective over people she cares about and will do anything to make sure they’re happy even if takes her being upset. She probably went through more than any of us but she always has a smile on her face. Ihsan isn’t a friend to loose.
