What to Expect and Schedule

The Marshall+Sterling Insurance/USHJA National Championships are unlike any other championship experience currently offered for the Hunter and Jumper disciplines.

Riders will compete for National titles in their sections and Horse of the Year points while enjoying a unique venue. All competitors will enjoy great exhibitor hospitality and a variety of educational activities that will be announced as the event approaches.

Class formats and cross-entry requirements are detailed in the prize list.

All applications for the Rated sections that are submitted between August 28-October 14 will be placed at the bottom of the wait list for each applied section.
