USHJA Affiliate Organization News
Kickoff of the 2021 Show Season!

The first Seacoast show was a great success! We had 94 riders entered, and we had a lovely albeit toasty Saturday in May for our kickoff! We had riders in every division, from Leadline all the way through our open 2’6” Equitation and Open 2’6” Hunter divisions. We are excited to continue to grow as the season moves along, and are hopeful to increase buzz and excitement with our USHJA Outreach Affiliate partnership.
