Horses and Hounds Stables, Inc., is proud to be offering a $500 scholarship to one rider on the Hudson Valley Equestrian Team to be awarded August 2012. 

The Hudson Valley Equestrian Team competes under the Interscholastic Equestrian Association, IEA. The mission of the IEA is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary schools (primarily ages 11 through 19) to equestrian sports, to provide information concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian programs, to develop understanding and appreciation of equestrian sports through organized student competitions, to provide students with organized competitive events and to provide additional equine educational opportunities. Also, currently, there are few opportunities for these students to earn scholarship money. Through the IEA, students may have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education.

Riders do not need a horse to participate on the team.
