USHJA Affiliate Member Organization Spotlight!
USHJA Affiliate Member Organization News

The NJPHA is a chapter of the National Professional Horseman’s Association. We are an organization that supports our professional members by giving aid and paying a death benefit for our professional members. The NJPHA also runs a high-score program and year-end awards banquet. We offer scholarships to the children of Professional members and a scholarship for one of our High-score Members each year. 

The NJPHA runs two horse shows a year. We are having our July recognized horse show this weekend at Duncraven in Titusville, N.J. We hope to return to Duncraven in September for our annual Fall Finale.

The NJPHA has developed this annual tradition as a final for NJPHA classes that have no finals. Everything from Mini–Stirrup onward. This year we are looking forward to horseman, author and judge Randy Roy traveling from Canada to officiate at the Fall Finale. He will be one of two officials judging over the two-day show.

The NJPHA is halfway through the competition year. Things will heat up this summer and points will end on November 30. Our annual dinner is supported by membership fees and by the generosity of our sponsors. We look forward to highlighting our membership and sponsors in future newsletters.

Sport History: Fun Facts from the USHJA Wheeler Museum!
Getting to Know EAP Clinician Cynthia Hankins 

Cynthia Hankins, one of this summer’s clinicians at the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program Regional Training Sessions, is widely recognized for winning the AHSA Medal finals in 1977 and for her national and international success with jumpers. Did you know that Cynthia’s winning record in the show ring started at a much earlier age? Cynthia took top prize in Leadline at Devon two times, at ages three and four. Her first Medal class win came at age 12 on a 13.2 1/2 hand pony, and she qualified for the Medal and ASPCA Maclay finals that year, finishing fifth in the Maclay. Cynthia’s story was featured in ”Equitation: A Foundation for Life” at the USHJA Wheeler Museum.
