NCEA not the governing body for all intercollegiate equestrian sports
The NCEA is not the governing body for all intercollegiate equestrian sports. Tell me, when did the NCEA last issue a rules update for dressage? Or conduct the intercollegiate dressage championship? They haven’t done those things. The Intercollegiate Dressage Association conducts the intercollegiate dressage championship. Of course only college students participate in the intercollegiate dressage championship. That’s why it’s called “intercollegiate.” See  intercollegiate equestrian sports champions for more information.

 * Kill the snark, the sourcing links were dead. (Frankly, a LOT of the sources in that section are deadlinks).  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you find citations for your claims, and don't just link to another wiki article - particularly one with as many dead links and bad sourcing as that one.  Now that we've settled that matter, maybe you might be interested in starting articles on the other organizations (even if some of them are "national" in name only, one seems to only exist on the east coast...)

 * In retrospect, I regret the snark. I'm not really that way in person.  Thank you for editing that section in the Wikipedia article to make the headings clear.  I wrote that entire article for all those sports myself years ago and have not kept it up-to-date lately.  All the links were good when I wrote it.  Sometime I'll look on the Wayback Machine (http://archive.org/web/) to try to find preserved copies of those links.

 * No sweat. These college equestrian groups tend to be regional in focus and kind of short-lived, for some reason.  National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association is a bigger deal;  Rodeo is classified separate from Equestrian, but NIRA is bigger and older than any of the others.
