Our IEA Hunt Seat Teams enjoyed a FABULOUS season opener weekend earning Champion for Upper School and Middle School on both Saturday and Sunday! The horses were AMAZING and thank you to Coach Kiri, Coach Kate, and Coach Jamie for training the team! Thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped make a big show weekend possible including our horse providers, set up volunteers, show runners, ring crew, announcers, and more! IEA is a labor of love that takes a community of support to make possible and we appreciate the effort of all who make this valuable youth and community building program possible from our Barn Management Team of Vanessa, Rebecca, Lisa, Abby, Pearl, Cory, Aurora, and Flor to our equine support team of Dr. Joleen Elston, our chiropractor Dr. Adrienne Moore, our team of farriers: Greg, Kevin, Susanne, our ranch staff, and Purina and Abby Jackson, who sponsored our Show Prizes. Thank you to our show officials including Colin, Claire, and Cassie! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and expertise with our riders! Thank you to our amazing show co-hosts from Las Vegas! We LOVE IEA! IEA helps make youth equestrians into leaders through horsemanship, riding, and show management.
