The Trinidad & Tobago Equestrian Association (TTEA) started off as the Trinidad & Tobago Horseback Riding Club in 1991. 

Formed to encourage horseback riding as a sport and recreational activity as well as to promote good sportsmanship among riders, the TTEA aims to improve and maintain the standard of riding and horsemanship in the country. 

In 1999, the TTRC officially became the Trinidad & Tobago Equestrian Association solidifying its status as the official equestrian body of Trinidad & Tobago.

Currently the TTEA has approximately 80 member families who work tirelessly for the sport.
