Letter

FROM THE PRESIDENT

On behalf of the United States Equestrian Federation, welcome to the Fifteenth Annual Sallie B. Wheeler/US Hunter Breeding National Championships.

In 2016, we once again have two great venues hosting the championships.

On August 27, the Virginia Young Horse Festival at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia will host the East Coast phase of this Championship. Just four days later, on August 31, the Championship’s West Coast phase will take place at the Showpark All Seasons Summer Tournament at the Showpark Facility in Del Mar, California, and an Overall Grand Champion will be named.

The US Hunter Breeding Championships host a unique gathering of competitors, breeders, and owners actively involved in Hunter Breeding.

Thanks to their passion, and a vision first imagined over a decade ago, we have been able to develop and produce this bi-coastal competition and ensure its existence for decades to come.

It would not be possible to host these Championships without our sponsors and supporters, to whom we are extremely grateful for their continued support. Only through their generosity and valuable contributions are we able to present this truly incredible event.

We especially thank all of the volunteers, staff, and officials who work tirelessly to make certain that this event is fair, safe, and memorable for everyone involved.

Good luck to all the competitors, and have a great time!

With regard,

Chrystine J. Tauber President

Hi and Welcome, On behalf of the Sallie B. Wheeler/US National Hunter Breeding Championship Task Force, thank you for your generous support.

ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP In 2002 the Sallie B. Wheeler/US Hunter Breeding National Championship was developed. The goal of the Championship was to create a platform where handlers, owners, and breeders could showcase talented young Hunter prospects.

For three years the Championship was only hosted on the East Coast. Then in 2005, efforts to expand the Championship across the country were rewarded. The West Coast hosted its inaugural phase Sallie B. Wheeler/US Hunter Breeding National Championship. From then on, the Overall Champion has been determined after the judges have spent time in the ring on each coast admiring these young prospects.

By 2013 the Championship had grown and more adults were looking for a way to be involved. Thus became the birth of the Amateur Handler. The Amateur Handler class is designed to offer an opportunity for amateur members to spend time in the ring, before a judge, to refine their horse presentation skills, as the class is judged 100% on the handler and his/her ability to present the horse to the judges.

Fortunately the Championship continues to grow and expand the Hunter Breeding horizons. In 2015 and 2016 Performance classes were added for the Three Year Olds and Four Year Olds (respectively). These classes allow the older horses to exhibit and practice their skills with a rider. Each Three or Four Year Old will have the opportunity to compete against its peers in both an Under Saddle class and Hunter Hack class.
