CONTRIBUTE TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE SPORT

The IEA goes beyond just holding and running events. We care about all facets of the sport including its future, its safety, and its community. The IEA has designed several programs to support these important aspects.

The Future Event Horse Program (FEH) is dedicated to the development of a event prospect in his early years. Each horse is judged on his conformation, quality of gaits, and presence.

The Young Event Horse Program (YEH) is a test of potential upper level ability, more-or-less a talent search. Four and five year olds are judged under saddle and in-hand.

The IEA's Adoption Program is held at a mini-barn on Birchwood Farm's property in Georgia. The goal of this program is to provide former event horses with new, loving homes. Some of these horses are forgotten CCI* horses or simply horses that are in need of a new career, like a retired racehorse. Regardless, the IEA is here to love, train, and find new homes for these talented horses.

The Event Horse Studbook is a nonexclusive service providing a common ground for eventers to find their next sire. We encourage all stallions from the smallest of Amoeba competitors to the best of the Advanced horses to place an ad. We will we provide basic statistics, show results, prodigy, any certifications and more.

In our sport, safety is held at the utmost importance. We strive to make sure all eventers are safely navigating their courses no matter what the level. Therefore, the Instructor Certification Program was put into place in hopes of standardizing the correct, proper training of horse and rider.
