Outreach Competitions
|
USHJA provides a directory service for Outreach Competitions that apply to be
listed in the directory and meet the program requirements.
USHJA does not license or sanction these events.
USHJA Outreach Competitions set a minimum standard for unrecognized
(local) competitions; participation is open to all equine enthusiasts,
regardless of current USHJA membership status. While USHJA does not restrict
participation in Outreach Competitions, USHJA Affiliate Associations
will receive a 50% discount on the registration fee of $50 per competition.
