IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association)
The MISSION of the IEA is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary schools to equestrian sports and to promote and improve the quality of equestrian competition and instruction. IEA coaches aim to develop understanding and appreciation of equestrian sports through organized student competitions and additional equine educational opportunities.
Designed for student equestrians in grades 6 – 12, the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) was established in the spring of 2002 and held its first annual National Finals event the following year in Willoughby, Ohio. A non-profit organization, the IEA has grown both geometrically and geographically each year. Beginning with just 200 participants, the IEA now has over 14,000 members in 42 states across North America.
You do not need a horse to show in IEA. Team sign-ups begin June 1st for the 2020/2021 season. Visit the IEA website at www.rideiea.org or call Lori Clark at (209) 608-2255 to answer all your questions.
