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 7-12^th grade and provide a supportive community through which students can continue to pursue their riding interests. A group of junior members in the 7^th-12^th grade who share a common bond (same barn, same school, same Pony Club, etc.) register with the USEA as an interscholastic team.
