USHJA Announces New Adult Amateur Equitation Offering for 2023

Lexington, Ky.—April 18, 2022—The U.S. Hunter Jumper Association is pleased to announce the addition of the new USHJA Gladstone Cup Equitation Classic for Amateurs to its Equitation offerings. 

Now USHJA's second Adult Equitation program, the USHJA Gladstone Cup Equitation Classic for Amateurs emulates the format of the rendition open to Juniors. The three-round class combines the precision of equitation and handiness of hunters over a course set at 3’. 

The Classic is open to any active USHJA Amateur member that has placed first, second or third in Adult Equitation classes in the age group equitation at 2’9” or higher, 3’3” Adult Jumping Seat Medal class, Taylor Harris Insurance Adult Medal class, and Ariat National Adult Medal class. Qualifying classes begin June 1, 2022, with the inaugural Classic being held in 2023. Dates and locations for the 2023 competition will be announced later this year.
