About the OHJA

The Oregon Hunter Jumper Association, formerly known as the Northwest Horse Council, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of hunters, jumpers, and hunt seat equitation. Founded in 1978, OHJA's purpose is as follows:

• Promote the interests of the owners and exhibitors by ensuring fair competition and sportsmanship
• Help improve and develop the quality of hunters and jumpers within the state
• Bolster public support of the hunter/jumper and hunt seat equitation industry
• Expand and enhance the image of equestrian competition.

The professionals and amateurs involved in the OHJA share the belief that horsemanship promotes and develops not only an appreciation of horses and riding, but also in a much broader sense dedication, commitment, and sportsmanship.
