Each year, MEHJA hosts two major shows devoted to riders in Maine seeking opportunities to excel in their hunter, jumper, and equitation careers. In order to achieve year end awards, riders must compete in at least one of these shows or volunteer at an MEHJA sponsored show or event. MEHJA strives to provide a higher standard of jumps, course design, variety of classes, showmanship, and prizes so aspiring riders and horses can prepare for future opportunities with and outside of MEHJA.
