IEA Competition
Format
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 provided
to the students at the show. The host
team arranges for the horses and equipment.
Some of the equipment may be borrowed from
various training barns and facilities. Though the
rider and horse have a short opportunity at orientation
in the over fences classes, essentially,
the horse is new to the rider, and the scores are
based upon horsemanship and equitation, not the
horse. The competitions involve six classes jumping
over fences no greater than three feet and
numerous flat equitation classes. Western riders
show in horsemanship and reining, and saddle
seat riders show in both rail and individual
workout classes. All disciplines offer a variety of
ability levels from beginner through advanced. |
