Welcome to WPEA
The purpose of the WPEA is to promote the sport of eventing within Western PA through fostering education, collaboration, and unity in our service area. While focus is on mentoring our 18 and under youths, the same opportunities for young adult, adult amateur and vintage riders are available. The wisdom of experience from our adult riders will create the positive partnership and mentorship opportunities we seek to create while adding to the sustainability and longevity of eventing in our area.
