USHJA Outreach Festival
"We now have a way for our B-rated shows to have our exhibitors qualify for the USHJA Las Vegas National Championships through the USHJA Outreach classes. The Championships in Vegas include all riders from the grass-roots up to the highest FEI level show jumpers," Showplace's Patrick Boyle commented. "This is why we have always believed in running our IHJA B Rated shows at the same high level as all of our A-rated shows, so all of our riders and their horses will have seen and practiced everything they need to be confident when they step up to a higher level. The IHJA B circuit has always been a more affordable option for people starting out as they develop their skills before graduating to the A circuit."
All Showplace Productions B Horse Shows include USHJA Outreach Classes. Eleven riders earned the Outreach Golden Backstage Pass to compete in the 2024 USHJA Affiliate National Championships. Once again, this year's competition will be held during the Marshall+Sterling Insurance/USHJA National Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada, over November 11-17.
