YEDA Collegiate Celebration showbill Showbill

YEDA is proud to announce this horse show for our collegiate friends and partners in the catch riding format. On May 13 and 14, YEDA will host a collegiate-only competition for the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA) schools. Open to all college students no matter what year and especially the seniors who in their final year of eligibility have an opportunity to compete one last time. YEDA has been able to navigate the last year with competitions. Unfortunately, our college partners have had their season cut short with no post-season, or they have had a complete shut down of all sports. Amanda Ellis of West Texas A&M and Becky Huddleston of Tennessee Tech have to lead the charge to make this happen. YEDA and IHSA stand for many of the same values, and this is a way YEDA can say thank you.

The first part of the show for the IHSA teams that were able to qualify student riders. The second part of the show will be an invitational for individuals and teams to compete in the IHSA format and classes. IHSA rules and format apply, and a complete set of guidelines for these two days are in the link below. YEDA will then host a regular-season show on May 16 and 17 for its youth student riders with college alumni classes. So, those college student riders can stay and compete and possibly qualify for the YEDA Nationals on June 23–26, 2021. Everyone will get the opportunity to win cool prizes and show several more times.

Thank you to our wonderful photographer, Mary Bowman, for taking these and making these photos available. Mary also designs our website, any of our published materials and the Nationals program. YEDA is so lucky to have her!
