April 19-22: 2012 IEA Hunt Seat National Finals 

NYS Fairgrounds, Syracuse: The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) was founded in 2002 to support the athletic efforts of middle and high school equestrians throughout the United States. The IEA provides membership and event structure for students to participate in Hunt Seat and Western competitions and serves over 7000 members in eight Active Zones comprised of states from coast to coast. 

The riders show in a draw-­type format that "levels the playing field," and prepares them for intercollegiate riding and scholarships. Riders from 6th grade through 12th grade are eligible to participate at regular shows throughout the school year with classes offered for all ability levels (beginner, novice, intermediate and open). Awards are given to the top individual riders and to the highest placing teams. 

Each spring, the top riders and teams are tested at the regional and zone level, and finally, the best from each division are invited to the IEA NATIONAL FINALS! Visit Web Site Email roxane@rideiea.org
