Know a rider that’ll be in grades 4-12 this fall? Our Hunter seat IEA show team has a spot for them! Join a great group of kids (& parents) for an affordable way to show.
Based out of Pollocksville; we have riders from New Bern, Jacksonville, Swansboro, Greenville & Holly Ridge areas!

PS: did you know IEA offer tons of college scholarship opportunities?

Congratulations to these girls who qualified for IEA Zone 3 Region 9 finals; we had a few others that just were short of qualifying for Regionals this year.

Big congratulations to Hannah for placing first, securing her place at Zone finals next month & being High Point for her division!

McKenna finished top half of her class with a 4th place finish after a very challenging start to her over fences trip- if there was a perseverance award, it should have gone to her!

Peyton came away with a 5th place finish in a competitive group coming away with a positive attitude, ready to be back at regionals next season.

Meet the herd!!
🧛🏻‍♂️Count🧛🏻‍♂️

Always the same day in & out. Count is as close to perfect as most will get! (As long as you heed the wise words on how he likes to be ridden). He likes to show off his effortless movement…as long as his rider puts forth effort. His trip to Tryon for IEA Nationals in April earned all but 1 of his riders a finals call back &/or top 10 finish; including a National Champion ride!
But he’s just as happy to tote around riders learning how to post the trot.

Meet the herd!!
🇺🇸Freedom🇺🇸
The best (worst) pony ever! We are lucky enough (& super thankful) to borrow this guy from some pretty awesome friends. While he’s safe enough to for anyone to ride him, he really goes best for confident beginners & shines over fences. Freedom was also awarded our IEA Regional Finals Best horse/pony award for being a super star for everyone!

Meet the herd!!
☀️Sunny☀️
The best (& oldest) old man that everyone loves! He’s the definition on “kid safe, mother approved”! While he’s taking a step down, he is still the go to for beginners learning to trot & canter.
Have photos with Sunny? Drop them in the comments below 😎
