The affiliation of associations is the National Association of Wholesalers (NAW). IEBA is the non-profit exclusively representing the equestrian products industry within the NAW affiliation. Collectively, NAW member non-profit organizations like IEBA represent more than 40,000 member companies. This is the large buyer pool allowing discounts in critical cost areas.
