Sage Hill IEA Team
Ride. Compete. Grow. No Horse Required
The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) gives students in 4th grade through high school the opportunity to compete in the equestrian sport as part of a team—without owning or leasing a horse. Riders compete on horses provided at the show, making IEA an exciting and accessible way for young equestrians to gain valuable show experience, develop their skills, and compete alongside their peers.
If you would like to become part of our Team or sponsorship program please contact Morgan at 281-660-1527.
