MICHIGAN INTERSCHOLASTIC HORSEMANSHIP ASSOCIATION

The Michigan Interscholastic Horsemanship Association (MIHA) is a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes interscholastic equestrian programs for students (grades 5–12) in Michigan. It serves as the coordinating body for district, regional and state-level competitions and provides standardized rules, safety procedures and coach guidelines to support school-based equestrian teams. In the last 2–3 years MIHA has remained actively operational: it has published updated region packets and competition schedules for 2024–2025, maintained an updated rulebook and standard operating procedures, and continued district-level activity across the state. The organization also administers scholarship opportunities and sportsmanship awards for student riders. MIHA reports publicly available Form 990 filings and operates at a modest scale (public data for fiscal year 2024 shows program-level activity with total revenues in the low hundreds of thousands), and it is listed on third-party charity information platforms as an active, donor-facing nonprofit with recent tax filings and program documentation available online.
