Education & Opportunities

USHJA Affiliate Association

SNHSA is an Affiliate Associate of USHJA. Through this membership, SNHSA is supported with quality educational and competitive programs aimed at developing cohesion among the various tiers of the hunter/jumper industry for the benefit of our sport.

SNHSA participates in the USHJA Outreach Program, starting early in the 2022 show season with the June 11 Brownlee Equestrian horse show. USHJA recognizes SNHSA local shows and points from SNHSA shows accrue in their Outreach Program point system.

Each Zone (we are Zone 10) will offer year-end awards at Gold, Silver and Bronze levels. Points accrue for USHJA Outreach in Equitation, Hunter and Jumper divisions, as follows. Note that this is a different point system than the SNHSA points system and will not affect SNHSA year-end points or awards.

1st place – 10 points, 2nd place – 6 points, 3rd place – 4 points, 4th place – 2 points, 5th place – 1 point, 6th place – ½ point

What you should do to participate in the USHJA Outreach Program:

1. Compete in classes at local SNHSA shows.
2. Become an Outreach member (or higher) on or before the first day of competition to accrue rider points. Membership is free. See links below
3. Register your horse with USHJA for points to be tracked. To become a member of the Outreach Program, Horse Registration is $20 for an Annual Recording, or $75 for a Lifetime Recording. See links below.

All riders who have achieved 50 or more cumulative points will receive an email mid-January that has a link and will allow them to pick from ribbon, medallion, swag, or logowear for each medal level. There are different prizes for each level.

Any rider/horse with 100 or more points would be considered a Gold Level rider; Silver Level riders achieve 75-99 points, and Bronze Level riders achieve 50-74 points during the competition year. See the Zone 10 final list on the USHJA website.

SNHSA members should remember to sign up or renew their membership for the 2024 competition year. Remember, Outreach membership is free!
