Letter

FROM THE PRESIDENT

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

In 2018, we once again have two great venues hosting the championships. On August 25, 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 29, the Showpark All Seasons Summer Tournament at the Showpark facility in Del Mar, California the Championship’s West Coast phase will take place at the where an Overall Grand Champion will be named.

The USEF 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 bicoastal 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!

Best regards, Murray S. Kessler President

About

THE CHAMPIONSHIP

In 2002 the Sallie B. Wheeler/USEF 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/USEF 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.

This year, in keeping with tradition, the Sallie B. Wheeler is offering a new Conformation Over Fences class for Four Year Olds.

SALLIE B WHEELER/USEF HUNTER BREEDING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TRIANGLE FORMAT The horses will enter the ring as a group and line up, single file. Individually, each horse proceeds to the top of the triangle for the conformation presentation before the judges. The judging continues as the horse proceeds at a walk away from the judges, during the trot on the long side of the triangle, and throughout the walk back towards the judges, thus completing a triangle. After completing the triangle pattern each horse returns to its place in line on the rail to await the final lineup. This format provides the judges a full view of the conformation, qualify of movent and soundness of each horse. Before the final placing are announced, the horses form a line in the center of the ring in the order of preference provided by the judges, allowing the judges one final comparison of all before officially pinning the class.
