March 14th and 15th, our three IEA Zone 3 Finals qualifiers competed in Lexington, VA at the Virgina Horse Center. All three rode beautifully, and we are so happy to share that two of our riders earned 2nd place and are moving on to IEA Nationals!

We are headed to St. Louis, MO to the National Equestrian Center in a few weeks for both riders to compete in the top 18 riders in the country! Congrats to all three for a well-ridden Zones, and we can't wait to see what Nationals brings!

The IEA post-season has been a whirlwind! Our riders performed beautifully at IEA Zone 3 Region 10 HUNT SEAT Finals in February. The high school came in 4th place overall thanks to some fantastic team riding from 6 of our high schoolers. We also had 12 riders compete 14 individual rounds, a great representation of a hard-worked regular season!

Regional Highlights:
- Nina Darlan (Varisty Intermediate O/F) - 2nd place and qualified for Zones
- Emily Golden (Varsity Intermediate (O/F) - 3rd place
- Shelley Blumin (JV Novice O/F) - 1st place and qualified for Zones
- Emily Markin (JV Novice) earning 1st place over fences and 2nd place on the flat for our team, definitely show MVP!
- Mia Ciuccio (JV Beginner WTC) - 1st place and qualified for Zones

We attended IEA Zone 3 Finals March 13-15 and had an AMAZING time! We also may have some more exciting news to share, but that's for another post... 😁
