USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge

Welcome to the 2025 USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge. Put your barn to the ultimate test for a chance to win great prizes!

When: June 15 - July 15, 2025

What: When at least three junior and/or amateur students per trainer* take the online Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Practice Quiz between June 15 and July 15, the trainer’s barn will be in the running for a unique trainer-inspired award package. At the end of the 30-day challenge, the three top scores under each trainer will be averaged to provide an overall score and the highest scoring trainer per zone wins a prize! In addition, participants can give their barn an edge by acquiring bonus points when they take the official Horsemanship Quiz Challenge quizzes. Participants who take the Level One and Level Two HQC quizzes will receive 10 bonus points for each level they complete. Those points are then added to their individual score. In the event of a tie, a fourth score will be added to the average.

Why: Fun for the whole barn while learning more about understanding and caring for our equine partners. The best part is that it includes the grown-ups (e.g. trainers, coaches and riding instructors*) in the fun their students are having.

How To Participate: Participating is easy! Just follow these steps:

  • Go to the Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Practice Quiz.
  • Fill out your information and be sure to include your trainer’s name for your points to count.
  • Complete the practice quiz.
  • You’re done! Come back and take the quiz as often as you’d like to improve your score.

Try for bonus points by registering for the official Horsemanship Quiz Challenge and completing the Level One quiz and, if you score high-enough, the Level Two HQC quiz. Click here to register for the Horsemanship Quiz Challenge for bonus points.

Test your horsemanship knowledge today!

The mission of the USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Challenge is to educate and recognize equestrians who have exceptional horsemanship knowledge. Quiz Levels One, Two and the HQC Finals test horsemanship knowledge, using a multiple-choice and true/false test with an additional hands-on practicum component incorporated into the HQC Finals. The goal of this program is to ignite each equestrian's passion for advancing their horsemanship knowledge and make it an integral part of their equestrian life.

You can test your horsemanship knowledge as often as you’d like with the HQC Practice Quiz.
