IEA - High School & Middle School Teams (Hunt Seat) Exhibition Drill Team
2011 - 2012 Season ABOUT IEA
Windcrest - Saturday 2-18-12
Walnut Hill - Sunday 2-19-12
A new grid was emailed to everyone updating what shows folks are entered for. This will wrap up the final shows for the "Regular Season". It has been an excellent season - we've had very large teams (Middle School and High School) and it's been tough to practice all together and show all together (sometimes not wanting to compete against ourselves).
Thanks to all !!!

TEAM: Cranberry Equestrian Team (CBR) is made of several students of Betsy Kupic (Willow Brook Farm) and Geraldine Burnet (Reunion Farm) both of Plympton, MA riding programs. The IEA has redistributed its regions this year with so many new teams and we are now in Region 3, Zone 1.
As a second year team we are asked to host or co-host a horse show this season. We co-hosted our first show with Walnut Hill on Sunday 9/25/11. We learned quite a bit about hosting and possibly might host a show in the spring as we will be required to next year.
Thanks again to everyone that have supported this program and helped make it possible for these children to compete at such high levels.
