Show Off Your School Spirit: 2022 USEA Interscholastic Eventing League Team Challenge Calendar Now Available
The USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) 2022 Team Challenge calendar is now available! Last year was the first official year of IEL and over 80 IEL affiliate teams have signed up to participate in this exciting new program. This is the second year of running IEL and these team challenges are a fun and flexible way to compete as a team and show off your school spirit.
The mission of IEL is to bring together junior riders with a common interest and provide a supportive community through which students can continue to pursue their riding interests. This program will encourage team camaraderie and will give junior members a chance to compete in a team atmosphere. This program will also help provide a pathway for those riders who seek to be part of a collegiate eventing program as they graduate high school. The goal of the IEL is to increase membership, education, and engagement in riders on a national level who are in 7th through 12th grade.
Start planning your season now with the list of IEL team challenges below. Please keep in mind the calendar below is a tentative list of events hosting IEL Team Challenges and may be updated regularly. Please continue to check here for any updates throughout the year.

About the USEA Interscholastic Eventing League
In August 2020, the USEA Board of Governors approved the creation of the USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) as an official program of the USEA. The mission of IEL is to bring together junior riders who are in the 7-12th grade and provide a supportive community through which students can continue to pursue their riding interests. A group of junior members in the 7th-12th grade who share a common bond (same barn, same school, same Pony Club, etc.) register with the USEA as an interscholastic team.
