  1. Zone 10 The Interscholastic Equestrian Association

  2. Our Mission The mission of IEA is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary schools (primarily ages 11 through 19) to equestrian sports.

  3. Through the IEA, we hope… To promote the equestrian as an athlete, To provide students with organized, competitive opportunities,

  4. To help develop school mounted and non-mounted equestrian programs To introduce new riders to equestrian sports, And to encourage liaison with other equestrian groups.

  5. IEA Teams By its 10th anniversary in 2012, the IEA had over 6,000 members in three different disciplines: In our Zone, girls and boys compete primarily in Hunt Seat and Saddle Seat. California and Nevada are in IEA Zone 10, just as with USEF.

  6. IEA Supports School and Barn Teams All teams compete as either middle school or high school teams. Many teams perform fundraisers to help defray the cost of competing. Some teams choose a philanthropic project to support alongside their riding. Riders are encouraged to work together in the care and keeping of the team horses.

  7. Horsemanship and Education The IEA sponsors a national horsemanship test each year open to all riders. The test features a written exam, followed by a hands-on practicum with the national judges. Facebook horsemanship trivia is offered throughout the year for practice, so stay tuned to the IEA WEST Facebook page!

  8. As Your Zone Grows As Zone 10 grows, the IEA will help keep the competitions manageable by introducing regions within the zone. Some zones have close to 2,000 riders with 8 to 9 regions. Zone 10 is in its early growth with 20 team and no region splits.

  9. The Competition Process

  10. IEA Competitions begin in September Each team starts with a goal of accumulating enough team points to make their Zone Final horse show. Winning teams at Zone Finals then qualify to compete at the IEA National Finals.

  11. The Team Teams consist of riders in four different high school levels and three different middle school levels. These range from Beginner (walk, trot, canter) to the Open division for the most advanced.

  12. The Shows Teams take turns hosting horse shows throughout the season. Since you are not required to own a horse to compete, teams take turns providing horses for their shows. The show season starts September 15 and ends in April at the National Finals. Horse shows are one day shows that generally do not involve extensive travel.

  13. Individual, Team, or Both Each horse show also offers individual classes so that students may compete as a team member and individually. A rider may make it all the way to the National Finals as an individual even if his/her team does not.

  14. Recognition Many school teams and open teams offer their students an opportunity to earn letter jackets and achieve other types of school and team recognition.

  15. Community Service Team members from Bentley School can choose to perform community service projects together related to horses and riding.

  16. Overall, the IEA Is Here To. . . Train – Provide riding instruction and competition for middle and high school students. Educate - Provide education about equestrian related topics. Prepare – Provide education about and opportunities for college level riding.

  17. And Accomplishing All That Will Be A Job Well Done!
