Everything
What does YEDA mean to me?
The Youth Equestrian Development Association (YEDA) is a riding competition program for 4th through 12th-grade school-age kids. The program fosters the development of riders’ skills, encourages friendships with other riders, and emphasizes exposure to scholarship opportunities and college programs.
​
Riders may compete in as many shows as they wish, but if they wish to qualify for Nationals, riders must compete in a minimum of six shows.

Scholarships
YEDA has an optional Scholarship Incentive Fund (SIF) allows competing members to grow their continuing education dollars based on their show performance. YEDA competitors enroll in the YEDA SIF by paying a one-time application fee of $100 for the first-class division and, optionally, an additional $25 for a second-class division.
The annual re-enrollment fee is $25 per class. Additional scholarship contributions come from private donors. The rider with the most points annually will get a cut of the pot to be applied toward their college fund. In addition, YEDA is a pathway to college riding programs. Competitions attract college scouts, who recruit riders with incentives and scholarships.
