IEA Equestrian Team Qualifies For Upcoming Regionals

January 15, 2017

Local middle and high school equestrian teams from Trinity Farm have qualified for regionals.

The teams compete in Interscholastic Equestrian Association “IEA” horse shows. in which they “blind ride” — drawing a horse to ride at the event ratheru than riding their personal horse. The show judges the riders primarily on their abilities for the chance to win college scholarships.

The regional competition will  be held February 5 at the Escambia County Equestrian Center.

    Trinity farm is very family orientated. Don’t get me wrong and driven these girls work hard and deserve their place in Regionals. They will not disappoint anyone because they are already winners!!

    I’m very proud of these young ladies. They’ve worked and trained very hard for these events. It wouldn’t be fair not to mention the trainer, Ashley Mooneyham, and their very dedicated coach, Alyssa Vinn. As I’m typing this, these young ladies are competing at a show in Birmingham, AL. It’s their final “regular season” show of the year and it’s awesome that the team had the points to qualify for regionals prior to the last show!
