Intercollegiate Dressage Association
The Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) is a national organization that is divided into regions for the purpose of intercollegiate dressage competition. At each show, individual and team points are earned and count toward regional standings and qualification for the annual National Finals. Riders compete at Intro., Training Level I and II, Training Level III and IV, and First Level. Collegiate and scholastic rider points are totaled in separate categories, and points earned are awarded to individual riders and teams. The IDA is affiliated with the United States Dressage Federation and adheres closely to the U.S.A. Equestrian, Inc. (formerly the AHSA) dressage rules.

RIFNA is a national organization that promotes equestrian sports in the middle and high schools. By encouraging local barns and coaches to become part of the RIFNA organization, RIFNA is able to help interested educational institutions to train at a facility that is convenient. RIFNA also works with riders ages 12-18 to establish teams at their schools or barns. RIFNA strives to develop safe and educated riders by offering affordable lessons at RIFNA-member barns with a RIFNA-member coach. Horse ownership is not required; the member barn supplies all of the horse and tack needed to lesson and compete. RIFNA also assists its member barns to set up educational clinics to educate the riders while they earn their educational points. To further develop the rider’s skill, member barns hold RIFNA-sanctioned meets and shows in a college-based format. Riders do not ride their own horses; instead, they “show” on a horse that is drawn for them. Whether it is a head-to-head invitational meet or a multi-discipline tournament, each rider rides the horse from the draw. Check the website for a current list of high schools participating in RIFNA - www.rifna.com/interscholastic.htm.
