IEA — Galemont Equestrian Team

Galemont Equestrian Team is a member of the Interscholastic Equestrian Association. Our team blends instruction and fun while competing in numerous IEA shows locally, regionally and nationally. It has been a rewarding experience for all the team members; enhancing both their riding skills and horsemanship knowledge. We look forward to expanding our team and hope you will join us. Remember, you don't need to have a horse to join - you just need to sign up and take a weekly lesson and attend team practices. Please see the information below for a brief description of the IEA.

The IEA Program is offered from beginner to advanced riders from 4th to 12th grade, either home schooled or from a private or public school. The program gives the students opportunities to further their education in equine sports or other realted equine matters. When IEA was founded in 2002, it modeled its program after the IHSA college format. It gives riders at all levels an inexpensive showing opportunity, accessible national level goals and scholarship opportunities. Our team strives in teaching our student's leadership and to expand their horsemanship skills.

The Objectives for IEA are:

To promote the equestrian as an athlete;
