February 12, 2020 – Columbus, Ohio
– The
Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA)
is pleased to announce its partnership with
EQUITANA USA
. This union supports IEA’s mission of providing educational opportunities for riders in grades 4-12 and EQUITANA USA’s dedication to working with associations that make positive impacts across all levels, ages, breeds, and disciplines of the horse industry. The alliance will come to life at EQUITANA USA – a three-day celebration of the horse featuring a trade fair, education, and evening performances –
September 25-27, 2020 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky
.
The IEA will promote EQUITANA USA to its members offering those in the Hunt Seat, Western and Dressage disciplines a chance to shop, learn, and be entertained at the famous Park. EQUITANA USA will support IEA by providing the organization with a physical presence and opportunity to host educational content at the show.
“
As a nationally recognized youth equestrian sports organization, IEA is always looking to forge relationships such as this one with EQUITANA USA that provide opportunities for our young members to grow their knowledge of the equine industry
,” says IEA Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Myron Leff. “
Learning not only about different breeds and disciplines, but of professional opportunities in the industry after our riders graduate is important to us as we work to support life-long equestrians
.”
“
EQUITANA USA is extremely excited to be working alongside IEA. As a leader in youth equestrian sport, we are honored to invite each IEA young rider to the show. It’s a fun, relaxing way to spend a weekend at the end of September after the summer season concludes and just as the 2020-2021 IEA show season gets underway; and a great opportunity to shop the latest products in the equestrian industry and spend time learning
,” says Meghan Margewicz, Event Director, EQUITANA USA.
