GET INVOLVED

Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of the IEA Community.  They are coaches, trainers, officials, show hosts, families and youth riders. IEA would not exist today without the time, energy, enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers.  We owe so much to our IEA community of equestrians committed to fostering the growth and development of young athletes.
