The USHJA Affiliates are the largest of all USHJA constituents and are vital to ensuring the success of the USHJA.

The Mission of the Affiliates Council is to recognize and support the quality educational and competitive programs already established by USHJA Affiliate Organizations; to develop projects that bridge the opportunities these organizations provide at the local and state level to a national level; and to develop cohesion among the various tiers of the hunter and jumper industry for the benefit of our sport.

The affiliates constituency is divided into four regional Affiliate’s Councils whose chairs serve as the Affiliates Committee. The Regional Affiliate’s Councils are geographically divided into the northeast, southeast, central and western regions representing the entire United States.

Every active USHJA Affiliate Association appoints one representative to participate on their prospective Rregional Council. The USHJA Affiliate Committee is comprised of eight (8) members, the chair and vice chair for each of the Regional Affiliate’s Councils and meet regularly throughout the year to facilitate and assist the Affiliate’s Council in their efforts to recognize, support and develop quality educational and competitive programs.

USHJA affiliate membership ensures an association the opportunity to make a difference in the sport by actively participating in and making recommendations on a wide range of issues from competition standards and horse welfare concerns to rule changes and continuing education. Active USHJA affiliate associations also gain the opportunity to participate at no additional cost in USHJA sponsored award programs, including the USHJA Affiliate Equitation and Affiliate Sportsmanship awards.

USHJA Outreach Competitions fall under the jurisdiction of USHJA Affiliates. USHJA Outreach Competitions are open to all organizations regardless of their current USHJA Affiliate member status. Affiliate member assocations are instrumental in the continuing development and implementation of current and new programs.
