What is YEDA?
The Youth Equestrian Development Association (YEDA) is a national youth equestrian organization that provides educational, team-based Western horse show competition for riders in grades 4–12. Designed to make showing more accessible, YEDA uses a catch-riding format, where riders compete on horses provided at the event rather than bringing their own horse.
YEDA emphasizes horsemanship, adaptability, sportsmanship, teamwork, and rider development. Students have the opportunity to compete in Western classes while earning points toward regional and national championships.
For many riders, YEDA provides valuable experience that can help prepare them for collegiate riding opportunities, scholarships, and future careers.
Why Enders Farm?
At Enders Farm, our philosophy centers on partnership before performance. We believe great horsemanship begins long before stepping into the show arena. Riders learn to communicate with horses, understand their behavior, solve problems thoughtfully, and develop confidence through knowledge rather than force.
Practices emphasize far more than patterns and rail work. Riders build skills in horse care, groundwork, communication, adaptability, sportsmanship, and teamwork, qualities that benefit them both in and out of the saddle.
From a child's first riding lesson through YEDA competition and collegiate equestrian teams, Enders Farm offers a unique pathway for riders to grow with the same coach every step of the way. Riders benefit from collegiate-level coaching while building the confidence, adaptability, and horsemanship needed for success both in and out of the show pen.
Winning is rewarding, but great horsemanship lasts a lifetime.
