USHJA Show Jumping Rider Ranking List

The USHJA Show Jumping Rider Ranking List provides the top Emerging Jumper Riders with recognition for their achievements in a National master ranking list, which also will be organized into three regions: East (Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4), Central (Zones 5, 6, 7, and 8), and West (Zones 9, 10, 11, and 12). USHJA will update the ranking list weekly and promote it. This list is separate from the Rolex/USEF Show Jumping Ranking List.

Riders earn points by earning money in specific grand prix or special classes at competitions that have been designated as a USHJA Show Jumping Rider Ranking List competition.

  • For points to count, the class must meet the designation of either Level 1 or 2
  • At the end of each com­petition year, the final point standings (Nov. 30) will be aged by dividing a rider’s points in half to start the new competition year (Dec. 1)
  • Riders may compete on multiple horses but will only be pointed on their highest placed horse
