About AETA

AETA is a non-profit, membership association, officially incorporated during the summer of 2007. We are led by a volunteer Board of Directors, supported by professional association management, and guided by our By Laws. Much thought, time and energy was devoted to organizing the Association and developing its infrastructure.

Members of AETA are encouraged to become actively engaged in the Association’s activities to reap the full benefits of membership. Whether a member has just an hour or two to spare or can commit to fuller committee involvement, there is much to do. Not only does this help AETA achieve its goals, it gives members a voice in the activities of the association, opportunities to know other members, and raises their visibility in the industry.  Without riders and places to ride, none of us will prosper. We have reached out to other industry associations and our industry partners in the media to encourage and nurture interest in equestrian activities in the United States. In addition, the Association will reinvest profits from its activities into benefits for its members and the industry.
