USHJA Pre-Green Incentive Program
O
n December 1, 2012, the USHJA will debut the new Pre-Green Incentive Program, created by the
Open Hunter Task Force to provide an incentive based program for developing Pre-Green hunters for the competition ring. The program consists of Pre- Green Stake classes and a Championship to be held in conjunction with the USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals. The Championship will offer a
guaranteed $25,000 purse. "This is an exciting opportunity for
those in this country who love to start young horses, develop horses and give them an opportunity to have a career. It's exciting for me personally because it's the launch of a formula that can help us in many areas of our hunters in regards to creating purses that will help sustain the sport in our country and bring a new level of excitement to our riders, our owners, and spectators."
Colleen McQuay of the Open Hunter Task Force. While this is a new concept in the
US Hunter Jumper community, it is a proven one in other equestrian sports around the world. Vice Chair, Louise Serio agrees, "I believe this is one of the most exciting things to happen in a long time for the hunter sport! Now we have something for the younger horses. The older horses have the Derby and now we're coming full circle in providing a special showcase for the young horses as they work towards Derbies." The Pre-Green Stake classes may be offered at any Federation Licensed AA, A, B or C-rated hunter competition. Stake classes may be offered at both 3' and 3'3". Horses will be required to compete at their respective height and may be ridden by professionals, juniors or amateurs. "We are pleased to recognize the
efforts of the Open Hunter Task Force members who contributed to the initiation of this program. Professionals are partnering with USHJA and investing in their future and that of their owners and horses by supporting the development of incentive based programs." Bill Moroney, USHJA President.

Green Incentive Program and how to enroll your Pre-Green horse, please visit the USHJA web site.
