The U.S. Hunter Jumper Association invites equestrians to put their horsemanship knowledge to the test in the 2024 USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge. This annual challenge is open to juniors and amateurs, and runs from June 15-July 15.

The USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Stable Challenge is a free program that was created to engage a trainer’s entire barn as a team and encourage horsemanship. At least three students per trainer are required to complete the online USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Practice Quiz between Saturday and July 15 for their barn to be eligible to win. Participating trainers also must be at least a USHJA Outreach level member or higher.

At the end of the 30-day challenge, the three top scores under each trainer will be averaged to provide an overall score. Participants do not need to be USHJA members to take the HQC Practice Quiz, and they can take the HQC Practice Quiz as many times as they’d like during the 30-day window to improve their Stable Challenge scores.

The highest scoring trainer in each USHJA zone wins a unique trainer-inspired award package designed to benefit the entire barn, which includes a gift from Nutrena and Exhibitors. 

The trainer, coach or riding instructor of a participating barn must be a current USHJA member and be declared professional with the U.S. Equestrian Federation in order to be eligible to win the barn prize pack. For each score to count toward a trainer’s average, the trainer’s name must be listed in the HQC Practice Quiz field.
