2020 USEF JUNIOR HUNTER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS SPEIFICATIONS The Federation may provide the applicable Recognized Affiliate, Council, and discipline or breed committee with the Qualifying Criteria and Official Specifications for review and recommendation. MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS The horse must be actively recorded with the Federation and registered with USHJA at the time of qualification and on or before the first day of the Championship. The owner of record of the horse must be an Active member in good standing of the Federation and USHJA – i.e. horses must be shown in accordance with GR1102 and GR1108 in order to be eligible to qualify. Horses must have a valid microchip and current USEF measurement card. QUALIFYING A maximum of 200 horses may be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for the USEF Junior Hunter National Championship – West Coast. Entries must be received at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Championship. ENTRY RESTRICTIONS Each junior exhibitor may show one large and one small entry on both coasts. PHASES The competition will be conducted in three separate phases: Under Saddle to count 20%, Handy Hunter to count 40% and a single Classic Round to count 40%. To determine the winner, scores must be calculated based on the total of the combination of all three phases after the percentages of each phase have been calculated. Under Saddle. To be shown at a walk, trot and canter both ways of the arena. Horses are to hand gallop one direction, halt and back. Light contact with the horse’s mouth is required. Judged on performance and soundness. Manners and suitability to be emphasized. In the Under Saddle phase, horses shall be judged in groups of twelve or less. Each horse shall be judged and given a score based on its performance in the group. Handy Hunter. Obstacles should simulate those found in trappy hunt country. The course must have at least two changes of direction and at least one combination. Horses are required to trot over one fence on the course and may be asked to open a gate while mounted. Emphasis shall be placed on “handiness” for this round. In the Handy Hunter each entry will be given a numerical score based on its performance. Classic Round. The course must include at least ten obstacles, have two changes of direction and have at least one combination. There shall be one single oxer on the course that shall be ridden at the gallop. Emphasis shall be placed on “brilliance” for this round. In the Classic Round each entry will be given a numerical score based on its performance. The same junior exhibitor is required to show an entry in all phases of the competition. Per HU124.2, exhibitors will be eliminated after two cumulative refusals.

Note: If a horse/rider combination does not compete in a phase and/or is eliminated, the horse will receive a score of “0” for that phase but may continue on to compete in the remaining phases of the competition. A horse with a total score of “0” for a phase is not eligible for an award for that phase but is eligible for an ‘Overall award’. JUDGING Three judges will judge each phase simultaneously but independently of each other. Each judge will give every entry a score for each phase. Prior to the Under Saddle and Handy Hunter, each entry’s score in the previous phase shall be totaled and announced. During the over fences phase, the Open Numerical Scoring System is used. After each entry completes the course each judge’s score for the round is immediately shown or announced. The total overall score for each entry is then calculated as soon as it has the completed the last phase. TIES Ties will be broken based on the score of the judge that is designated as judge number one for each phase of the competition. If a tie still exists for the overall standings, the score from the Classic Round will break such a tie. COMPETITION SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Horses competing in the USEF Junior Hunter National Championship are required to be stabled on the competition grounds beginning at 8:00 pm on Friday, July 17th. Commencing 12 hours prior to the start of the competition and continuing until through competing, only the competition rider may ride his/her entry. These riders must wear their competition number at all times anywhere on the grounds while mounted. Failure to comply with these rules will result in elimination if deemed appropriate by an appeals jury which will be compiled of one of the competition’s Federation Steward(s), a member of the Federation staff and the competition manager.
