About Our IEA Hunt Seat Team
What is IEA?
IEA is an interscholastic, national 501(c)3 non-profit equestrian organization. IEA utilizes a unique draw-based team competition format whereby riders are not required to own their own horse or riding tack to participate – providing greater affordability and access to the sport. IEA has nearly 15,000 members across the United States riding and coaching 3 disciplines – HUNT SEAT, WESTERN and DRESSAGE.
Who, Where and When?
Our hunt seat team caters to riders in Grades 4-12.​ We offer two teams: middle school- grades 4-8 and upper school - grades 9-12.
Both teams are open to riders of all experience levels from beginner to advanced. We practice at our home barn in largo and show in our region (usually the tampa bay area until we reach finals). Shows are hosted and cohosted by all teams yearly. Show season runs August – June.
