About AAHJA

AAHJA is a unique and special grassroots association which operates at a local level and strives to strengthen and educate the local hunter and jumper enthusiasts.  it is a place for kids and adults of all ages and abilities to come together and participate in the sport they love within their community.

For over 20 years, AAHJA  has encouraged great horsemanship as well as great sportsmanship.  Many members have grown up showing AAHJA and are now helping new kids learn how to compete.  The life lessons these kids are learning from being a part of the association are invaluable - not only from showing but also the camaraderie and responsibility that comes with competing.

We all are competitive, but at the end of the day it's not about what color ribbon we bring home but the memories we make, and the lessons we learn from the horses.
