USHJA Junior Career Development Program
The purpose of the USHJA Junior Career Development Program is to
allow junior riders the opportunity to be an apprentice for a day,
onsite, with a competition official, i.e. judge, show manager, show secretary,
steward, course designer, vet or farrier (click
here for the current list of participating officials). The program
allows junior riders an opportunity to have a better understanding
of the duties and responsibilities of these officials and to determine
if they would like to pursue a career in one of these positions.
The apprenticeship is for 1 day, maximum of 8 hours at a competition near you.
Please use the
USEF Event Calendar for a future regular member event in your zone. Participants
must be USHJA junior members. Juniors/Youth interested in apprenticing with a judge must
be between the ages of 18-21. All other apprentice areas are open to juniors between the ages of 14-18.
To participate in the Junior Career Development Program, please
review, complete and submit the following three forms to the USHJA office. Please allow two weeks
beginning on the date your application is received until the first day of the competition for processing.
• Program Application (word) or PDF
• Apprentice Program Specifications
• The Release and
Indemnification Agreement
Once this information has been received in the USHJA Office, your
selected official/competition will be contacted. If both the official and the
competition management agree to participate in the program; the apprenticeship will be
scheduled.
The USHJA Junior Career Development officials are volunteers that
have agreed to dedicate their time and knowledge to the USHJA membership.
As professionals, their time and knowledge are valuable commodities.
USHJA asks that members who utilize the Junior Career Development
Program exhibit the highest level of respect and understanding for
the professional volunteer's time.
If you have any questions, please contact Erin True
at 859-225-6714.
