IEA Equestrian Team
Hey Riders, Do you at least walk, trot and canter in control in a group?
Do you desire to show on different horses and go to away stables?
Do you like the idea of riding as a team?
COME JOIN OUR IEA EQUESTRIAN TEAM!!!!!
What is IEA? IEA stands for “Interscholastic Equestrian Association” You can check it out here: http://www.rideiea.org/ Basically, stables form teams and join IEA to compete against other stable teams under an IEA format in Hunt Seat, Saddle Seat and/or Western riding. Cedar Lodge competes in Hunt Seat. After their first year of membership, teams must host, or co host a horse show. Teams come to these horse shows and compete on that team’s horses, or horses that that team provides for the competition.
