The IEA recommends gathering team members over the summer and submitting your complete team membership registration between MAY and SEPTEMBER. Registering early will provide you with the most opportunities for a full show season.
Regular season competitions begin August 1st each year and run through January/February in most cases. Post-season shows typically run January – March.
The IEA is committed to increasing concussion awareness in equestrian sports.
It is important that IEA coaches recognize the signs and symptoms of concussion and head injuries in youth sports participants. To that end, IEA requires that coaches complete annually the free online training course in concussion recognition offered through the National Federation of State High School Associations at www.nfhslearn.com.
Full details can be found on the Coach membership application.
The IEA hosts 3 disciplines: Hunt Seat, Western, and Dressage.
An IEA team consists of at least 1 coach and 3 rider members. Depending on member history with the IEA, the team may be required to host or co-host a regular season horse show according to Rule G2302.
Riders are organized by their grade level.
An IEA Coach must be at least 21 years old and covered by a liability policy that carries a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The IEA offers coverage through Equisure that can be purchased through the Membership Office. ($150/year covers participation in IEA events and practices.)
