The 2021 USHJA Young Jumper Championships concluded on a high note for 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-Year-Old age groups. In its first year, the Championships were held in Traverse City and saw unprecedented success.

Horses from 5 to 8 years old competed over a three-round format that featured First and Second Qualifiers, culminating in a Final set from 1.15-1.40m based on each age section, as well as a Consolation Classic for horses not competing in the Final. In addition to prize money through fifteenth place, incentives and bonus prize money were offered for United States breeders and American-bred horses.
