EQUITANA USA officially announces collaboration with the United States Hunter Jumper Association
Norwalk, CT—October 28, 2019—EQUITANA USA and the Kentucky Horse Park are pleased to announce their latest collaboration with the United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA). The collaboration supports EQUITANA USA's dedication to working with associations that make positive impacts across all levels, ages, breeds, and disciplines of the horse industry. The alliance will come to life at EQUITANA USA—a three-day celebration of the horse featuring a trade fair, education, and evening performances—September 25-27, 2020, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky.
The US Equestrian-recognized national affiliate for the Hunter and Jumper disciplines, USHJA provides programs for hunter/jumpers of all levels, educational programs, awards and recognition, and much more. The foundation also supports charitable and benevolent services, bringing good to the industry alongside EQUITANA USA.
The opportunity to combine the best of competitions and trade events at the Kentucky Horse Park came naturally, as the USHJA is housed at the Park, and hosts its International Hunter Derby Championship and other competitions there as well. The USHJA will promote EQUITANA USA to its Hunter/Jumper members, offering those in the discipline a chance to shop, learn, and be entertained at the famous Park. EQUITANA USA will support USHJA by providing the organization with a physical presence and opportunity to host educational content at the show.
“We are thrilled that we will have a presence at EQUITANA in 2020,” said Kevin Price, Executive Director of the USHJA. “This opportunity will allow us to showcase the hunter/jumper sport to thousands of equine enthusiasts, and we look forward to showing the equestrian community all that we have to offer.”
“EQUITANA USA is extremely excited to be working alongside the USHJA. As such an important association in the equine world, we are honored to invite each USHJA members to the show in 2020. It’s a fun, relaxing way to spend a weekend at the end of September after the summer season concludes and just before indoors officially gets underway; and a great opportunity to shop the latest products in the equestrian industry and spend time learning,” says Meghan Margewicz, Event Director, EQUITANA USA.
