For the annual I.E.L. bake sale held at Show #2, the I.E.L. has decided to partner up with Return to Freedom.  Return to Freedom is an organization trying to improve the treatment of America's wild horses, as well as raise awareness of the B.L.M.'s treatment of the wild horses. They strive to seek better ways to  manage and preserve one of this countries most precious and iconic resources.  To find out how you can help and view the Return to Freedom pamphlet please   Read More »

Bill Smice will be available once again at Show #2 to take team photos free of charge.  At I.E.L. Show #1 we had 15 groups get their photo taken.  Any team wishing to have their photos taken at I.E.L. Show #2 may call and make a reservation for a time on Sunday.  You can call Bill Smice at 818 427-4484.  Team photos can be worked into school papers, yearbooks, on websites and local newspapers and are a great way to help riders get into the team spirit.
Team sign-ups will be in fifteen minute intervals. When you know your team’s schedule, please send someone to the photo location to sign up, or give Bill a call.  Please be sure to inform your team members of the shoot time. For smaller teams with more flexibility, up to 5 members, we may take walk-ins.  Walk-ins will only be taken if there’s no conflict with another teams time slot and if the photographer is available.  If you miss the time slot you’ve signed up for or are late, we will accommodate you when time allows. Time slots will be strictly followed.
Photos will begin at 8:30 am. All team members need to be lined up 5 min. before their time slot, in show clothes, ready to be photographed. Photos can be taken either with helmets off or on, but must be ready before your team’s time slot.  Bill likes helmets off, we get to see you better.
After the show we will also post the team photos on our Facebook page.

The I.E.L. would like to introduce the new Newsletter Online Page.  This page is where we will have all of the information from our newsletters and other emails available for everyone to read.  This will ensure that all riders, parents, team reps, and trainers can be kept informed of what is happening as well as allowing non-I.E.L. members to stay up to date.

For the 2013-2014 season I.E.L. has created a prize list! 
Our prize list contains show dates, class specifications, class list, list of show officials, an approximate schedule, and horse show rules.  This prize list will be a great addition to keep around the barn, or be able to look up at a moment's notice on our website.
 
You can find all of the contact information you will need for show officials such as stabling, feed and shavings, and horse show management.
 
Go to the Show Information Page to view the new Prize List.
 
Any other information needed can be found in the I.E.L. Rule Book

The Schools and Riders list has been added to the Schools & Riders Page.  It will be updated a couple times every week for the first few months of the I.E.L. season.  If your school has not signed up you will not be added to the list until your school has sent everything in.  If you have sent your forms in and do not see your information listed, please be patient, it should show up in a few days.

Here is a quick summary and links to things discussed during the meeting.

Forms
The forms that were handed out to all the school reps are now available on the Forms Page.  If you did not receive a full packet of forms at the meeting, please familiarize yourself with the changes and be sure to get those forms in on time.

Rules
All rule changes have been included in the newest copy of the rules available on the Rules, Policies, and Procedures Page.

I.E.L. Rider Numbers
Starting this year, the I.E.L. will be giving all riders a database number that coincides with the horse show software that is used.  This number is to keep track of a rider's points throughout their I.E.L. career.  Rider numbers can be found on the Riders & Schools Page.

I.E.L. Store
I.E.L. is going digital! Now you can purchase rider memberships, school memberships, enter online, and even buy a sponsorship all through the I.E.L. Store. 

Late Entry
The new late entry policy will leave little room for error.  For the five business days after the entry deadline, the I.E.L. will accept electronic late entries.  There will be no ability to request a stall or ride any dressage tests, however it is a chance to allow those who would like to ride the opportunity.  The full policy is detailed in the rule book, and the late entry form is available on both the Forms Page and on the I.E.L. Store with the Late Entry Payment. 

"Fast-Track Line"
Maybe the most exciting change for this year is the "Fast-Track Line."  The day before the show, on Saturday, the show office will be open for a two hour window and will be allowing riders to get their numbers.  If you pay your balance in full with a credit card or check you will be given your show number on Saturday afternoon.  This will enable you to go straight to the hunter sign-up and not have to wait in line first thing Sunday morning.  This also means that dressage and jumper riders wouldn't have to come into the horse show office at all on Sunday.

Sponsorships
The I.E.L. is offering new sponsorship opportunities.  Between individual classes on an annual basis and hospitality for every show, there are plenty of ways of helping the I.E.L.  If you would like to purchase a sponsorship or donate to the I.E.L. you can visit the I.E.L. Store, and if you would like to see a list of our wonderful sponsors you can visit the Sponsors Page.
