About Us

Our Mission:

We empower amateur riders to excel in Eventing, fostering skill development and goal achievement. We champion Eventing education and drive its growth within the North Texas community.

About Us:

Founded in the 1970s by passionate North Texas Eventing enthusiasts, NTEA has evolved from its roots as the North Texas Combined Training Association to a thriving 501(c)(3) non-profit. As a US Eventing Association (USEA) affiliate, we're part of the national governing body for the sport. Our dedicated Board of Directors, elected annually, leads our growing community of 250 plus members. From riders and organizers to volunteers, sponsors, and fans, NTEA welcomes everyone who shares a passion for Eventing.
