Dear IEA Parents and Riders,
Welcome to the TRIPLE BAR STABLES Interscholastic Equestrian Association
Team!! The goal of our team is to provide each rider with experience, support
and the opportunity to compete in a team environment. Along with a lot of fun
and friendship, this team will provide the following:
Skills and Confidence. The ability to build skill and confidence through
team support and regular competing.
Potential Scholarships. In the NCAA, equestrian sports are considered
an "emerging sport with scholarships becoming increasingly available.
Scholarships are available from the Interscholastic Equestrian Association,
United States Pony Club, and others.
Enhance College Attractiveness. Even if the student does not wish to
participate on an equestrian team or club in college, participation at the
High School level provides tremendous growth and leadership
opportunities and responsibilities, which are attractive to colleges.
In order for the above to take place, you will find that this takes a great deal of
commitment. We rely on parent volunteers and the hard work of each rider. We
are lucky to have a fantastic coach, great facility, supportive team
administrator, and AWESOME riders.
Lets ride!!!!

The mission of IEA is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary
schools (primarily ages 11 through 19) to equestrian sports, to provide information
concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian programs, to
develop understanding and appreciation of equestrian sports through organized student
competitions, to provide students with organized competitive events and to provide
additional equine educational opportunities. Also, there are opportunities for these
students to earn scholarship money. Through the IEA, students may have the opportunity
to earn scholarships towards their college education.
The objectives of IEA are:
To promote the equestrian as an athlete
To provide students with organized competitive opportunities.
To introduce new riders to equine sports.
To promote the IEA among middle, and secondary schools.
To provide students with opportunities for further education equine sports and
other equinerelated matters.
To encourage liaison with USA Equestrian, Inc, IHSA and other interested bodies
To provide information concerning the creation and development of school
associated mounted and nonmounted equestrian programs.
To establish and enforce IEA rules, standards and policies
To evolve with the continuing progress of equestrian sports.
To generally promote the common interests of safe riding instruction and
competition and education on matters related to the horse industry and all
segments thereof.
IEA Competitions
The unique aspect of these competitions, both at the local and national level, is that
none of the riders will supply their own horses or tack. Instead, the horses, saddle and
other tack are all provided to the students at the show. The host team arranges for the
horses and equipment. Essentially, the horse is new to the rider, and the scores are based
upon horsemanship, not the horse.
The competitions involve six classes jumping over fences no greater than three feet
and numerous flat equitation classes. The IEA is an affiliate of the United States Equestrian
Federation, the United States Hunter Jumper Association, and the Intercollegiate Horse
Show Association.
Team coach will place each rider in the most appropriate class for fences and flat
classes based on the riders skill level and needs of the team. IEA recommends,
since this is catch riding, that a rider show in a lower fence class than they are used
to showing in on their own. If a new rider, at the time of registration, has shown in a
rated USEF hunter/jumper show in the past, you must bring your most current show
listing. Returning riders and those who have not shown in a rated show do not need
to do this.
Riders typically compete in a single level for both flat and fences classes.
Individual points are earned and recorded both by your team, zone and the IEA
national organization as follows:
Team coach also chooses one rider per class as the Point Rider for each show.
The riders are not told who the point rider is. Any points earned by this rider
during that show will also count toward the teams overall score. At the end of
the show, the point riders points are added up for each team, and team points
are earned as follows:
