​October 29 - CEP Endorses New Hunter Jumper League of Arizona

With the recent introduction of the Hunter Jumper League of Arizona, CEP is excited to support this new entity and the way forward it offers for the hunter jumper community in Arizona. It has been created to help, support and promote local Arizona shows and the extended community, along with recognizing, rewarding and supporting the many fine riders, trainers, owners and related businesses in Arizona. The League plans to sponsor events, host community activities and encourage communication about local events.

 

Since some of our Arizona-based riders and trainers travel and compete outside of the state, many zone, regional and national programs exist for them that offer pointing and qualifying for finals and year-end awards, including the United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). Private-run organizations like Ryegate (THIS, Ariat, NAL, SJHOF, WIHS) and National Horse Show (Hamel, THIS / NHS, ASPCA), among others, offer plenty of zone, regional and national competitive and awards programs. 

 

What is missing is a state-based program that appreciates, recognizes and rewards everything hunter jumper in Arizona. This is where the Hunter Jumper League of Arizona comes in. While it will offer many benefits, the horse show component of the League is important but simple … it will promote and support the horse shows in Arizona and offer an entirely new “Horse of The Year” show with head-to-head competition, where both rated and schooling show competitors can compete for a state championship in their section. Since most Arizona competitors do not or cannot travel out-of-state all year, the Hunter Jumper League of Arizona will offer a great program right here in their own state … created by Arizonans, run by Arizonans, for Arizonans.

 

CEP endorses this new program and looks forward to being a part of it by providing results from its shows, supporting it financially in its inaugural year and offering any input or assistance when asked. Thank you to the amateurs, professionals and industry business owners who saw a need, banded together and created the Hunter Jumper League of Arizona. This will help breathe new life into our sport in Arizona and we look forward to seeing it flourish for many years.
