The IEA is the largest scholastic riding organization in the country with more than 5,000 student riders competing on hundreds of teams in 12 zones across North America. Nationals are a culmination of a long journey. Foxcroft competed in shows through the year, catch-riding horses at several different levels of experience. Points accumulated during the regular season qualified Foxcroft as a team and qualified several individual riders to compete at Regionals, held at Madeira School in early April. A top finish there advanced the riders to the Zone 3 Team Championship held at Garrison Forest School in Owings Mills, MD -- where the team won the Zone Championship to earn the trip to Massachusetts.
This is Foxcroft's fourth year of IEA competition. One rider qualified as an individual in each of the first three years but this is the first team trip.
