What is IEA? 

Interscholastic Equestrian Association, individual and team competition for 6-12 graders.

SECT is Southeastern Connecticut, the name of our team. We welcome riders from area schools, their own back yards, and even other barns that don't have enough riders to form a team. Event riders and flat only riders are also welcome.

Riders do not need to own their own horse. We have lots of fun, especially showing as a team.

Riders show in up to five shows on the host team's horses. Classes are from walk-trot to open eq fences.

The season is from September to April, including regional, zone and national finals.

Please contact team head coach Sally Hinkle Russell if interested in competing. 860-460-8586 (text).
