Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) Considering Saddle Seat for 2010 – 2011 Season
Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) is investigating the expansion of a Saddle Seat division for the 2010 – 2011 season. The inspiration came from ongoing requests from saddle seat enthusiasts all over the country, along with the combined excitement over a new saddle seat association for college riders called the Intercollegiate Saddle Seat Riding Association (ISSRA).
Members of a new saddle seat committee are currently working to create an outline of rules and regulations that would give competition guidelines similar to other IEA offerings. Classes will be offered for beginner, novice, intermediate and advanced riders, and the competitions will be based on a draw-type format. Show hosts will provide facilities, horses and equipment so that the riders can draw a horse’s name from a hat, then mount and show. This format levels the playing field so that riders are judged on their horsemanship skills rather then on the talents of the horse. It is not necessary to own or lease a horse to enjoy showing in IEA.
