ABOUT IEA

IEA Competition Format

You don't have to own a horse to show!

The unique aspect of these competitions, both at the local and national level, is that none of the riders supply their own horses or tack. Riders travel to an IEA Host barn. The host team arranges for the horses and equipment.  Though the rider and horse have a short opportunity at orientation in the over fences classes, essentially, the horse is new to the rider, and the scores are based upon horsemanship and equitation, not the horse. The competitions involve six classes jumping over fences no greater than 2'9" and numerous flat equitation classes. All disciplines offer a variety of ability levels from beginner through advanced.

  Riders compete as Individuals and as part of the Team to earn enough points to advance to the “post season” – Regionals, Zones, and Nationals!

The MISSION of 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.

The IEA PURPOSE is to set minimum standards for competition, provide information concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian sport programs, promote the common interests of safe riding instruction and competition and education on matters related to equestrian sport at the middle and secondary school levels (primarily ages 11 through 19).

Through the IEA, students have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities.

Riders must commit to the full season. The regular season runs from Sept. to Feb, with post season play happening through March.
