Fun for the Whole Barn From June 15-July 15

The USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge kicked off earlier this month! When at least three junior and/or amateur students per trainer take the online Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Practice Quiz, the trainer’s barn will be in the running for an award package. Plus, get bonus points by taking the official Horsemanship Quiz Challenge quizzes. On July 15, at the end of the 30-day challenge, the highest-scoring trainer per zone wins a prize!

The prize money is amazing, the hospitality is great and [The Marshall & Sterling Insurance/USHJA National Championships] is a really fun show!

✅Gem is as patient as the day is long. She has that girl-next-door beauty with a small dose of feistiness. Gem specializes in teaching our tiniest riders how to post. Her little trot has just enough bounce to let them learn to go up and down in a rhythm without scaring them. Gem has also given dozens of kids their first taste of cantering and jumping. If your first-time cantering is on Gem, then you are lucky enough to belong to the elite "Gem's Canter Club".

Equine Safety Vest Research

A joint project with the USHJA and the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab

The use of chest protection in equestrian sports has become common but there is little equestrian-specific research and testing available for equestrian air vests. Advancing your safety is critical and that's why we are doing the research.

The purpose of the Equestrian Safety Vest Research campaign is to review current equestrian vest protection standards, investigate the most common types of torso impacts and injuries, evaluate current testing methodologies, develop a biofidelic impact protocol for evaluating air and standard protective vests, and finally, test and rate the performance of current chest protection systems for the equestrian community.
