IEA Team

At Fox Ridge Farm, we are proud to host a competitive and supportive Hunt Seat IEA team for riders in grades 4-12. Our program provides an exceptional opportunity for young equestrians to develop their riding skills, build confidence, and compete in a team-based environment -- no horse ownership required.

As an official IEA member team, we offer structured training and a positive atmosphere where riders of all experience levels can grow. Our athletes compete in the Hunt Seat Zone 1, Region 7 with the opportunity to proceed to regional and national levels, following IEA's unique draw-based format that emphasizes horsemanship, adaptability, and sportsmanship.

At Fox Ridge Farm, we believe in teaching correct and compassionate riding while fostering teamwork, leadership, and lifelong friendships. Whether a rider is new to showing or striving for high-level competition in a team setting, our IEA program provides the guidance, encouragement, and community to help them succeed.

Join our IEA Team

Fox Ridge Farm riders delivered a standout performance at the 2026 Zone 1 IEA Finals, highlighted by a first-place finish from our Middle School IEA team to earn a coveted qualification to the 2026 IEA Hunt Seat Nationals in St. Louis, Missouri. Our athletes also impressed individually across both the High School and Middle School divisions, led by Samantha Wikander, who captured the blue ribbon in Future Intermediate Over Fences to secure her own spot at Nationals. Best of luck to our team members as they proudly represent Fox Ridge Farm on the national stage -- Addie Ruggiero, Isy Gruzdeva, Mikaela D'Amato, and Samantha Wikander.
