Sport History: Fun Facts from the USHJA Wheeler Museum!
As the USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge gets underway as a chance to put your horsemanship knowledge to the test, here’s a look back to  The American Horse Show,  a 1958 manual by Margaret Self with a description of jumps typical of the time. 

How many jumps like these have you seen lately? 

The more we recall the practices of the past, the more we can see how the hunter/jumper sport has changed . . . and how many traditions carry on.
