The Trish Franks Riding School has been selected to compete in the prestigious Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) program. Our equestriam team is open to all highschool and middle school students, regardless of their riding experience. The only qualification is that students be regularily enrolled in our lesson program.

This program affords eligible riders experience on a national level show circuit. Our team was selected from eligible riders who are currently enrolled in the Trish Franks Riding School and participate in weekly lessons. Those chosen for the team are required to attend a minimum of two IEA sanctioned shows per season.

The IEA is in affiliation with the IHSA and the USEF. This program prepares our riders for college level team competition in a format compatible with these organizationss. Successful team members are eligible for scholarships and shows are attended regularly by college recruiters. Find out more about IEA visit their website.
