IEA LESSONS AVAILABLE, CALL FOR DETAILS

IEA is a national organization modeled

after the IHSA program hosted by colleges and universities around

the country. High school and Middle school riders compete with

the opportunity to compete at regional and national competitions.

Students can win prizes and scholarships. The 2008 National

Finals had more than $125,000 of scholarship money granted to

IEA riders.

At IEA competitions, riders do not supply their own horses or

tack. The horses, saddle and other tack are all provided to the riders

at the show. Essentially, the horse is new to the rider, and the

scores are based upon horsemanship and equitation, not the

horse. IEA is open to riders grades 6-12 at any riding level. Give

us a call to be part of the team! You dont have to board here to join.
