Photo credit: Louise Taylor/USHJA Archives.
Riders who earn more than 10 points in a Jumping Seat Medal are eligible for the USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals. Finals will be hosted on either coast, and qualified riders may choose either location.
The 2017 Finals are a test to determine members' interest in a 3'3" equitation final that aims to help riders gain experience in a three-phase format (gymnastics, flat, jumping) similar to that of the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Program. Specifications can be found here.
The USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal provides Junior exhibitors with the opportunity to develop their equitation skills over a Jumper-style course. Year-end awards will be awarded to the top 12 riders in both the newly formed Eastern and Western Leagues.
