Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Equestrian, Sports
Mission: The interscholastic equestrian association (iea) is organized to promote and improve the quality of equestrian competition and instruction available to middle and secondary school students. Its purpose shall be to set minimum standards for competition, to provide information concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian sport programs to generally promote the common interests of safe riding instruction and competition, and to educate on matters related to equestrian competition and to educate on matters related to equestrian competition at the middle and secondary school levels. Iea serves riders who are 18 and under by offering financial and grant programs for equine athletics.
Programs: Interscholastic equestrian association aims to develop understanding and appreciation of equestrian sports through organized student competitions and additional equine educational opportunities. During fiscal year 16-17, our organization hosted 836 shows across the country and made it possible for over 13,500 riders to compete in equestrian competitions-many of whom would not be able to access equine sport without the affordable format that our organization provides.
the iea introduced a new horsemanship program in fy 16-17 expanding membership to younger (4th and 5th grade) demographic, and also offered opportunities for participation through educational learning and testing for non-riding enthusiasts. There were also test programs offered in dressage offerings as iea is considering the viability of adding an additional competitive discipline in the next 2-3 years. The iea continues to be a significant, introductory (feeder) program to higher level equestrian participation, and a major contributor to the growth and sustainability of equine sports.
