    President's Message & Announcements

     

    It was the fall of 1971; a group of horse lovers were sitting in a circle on hay bales in the alleyway of Dale Rickford Stable in Sandy, Utah. A discussion ensued about the horse community and the potential need for a local hunter jumper association. This association would be created to improve the sport, offer a member run association and inclusivity for all the barns, provide structure to shows, consistency in the schedule and rules, and, most importantly, a place for riders and horses to compete and grow. The Utah Hunter Jumper Association was created out of this meeting, and some of the founding members were Don Cramer (President), Blaine Knight (Vice President), Diane Lloyd (Secretary), Nancy Armantrout (Treasurer), Robin Sundean, Dale Rickford and Helen Sage.


    As the newly elected president, this history and my parents' participation in its creation reminds me of why the UHJA was created and the service these founding members dedicated for many years. Everyone I have talked to has echoed the continued need for a strong local association and a community of hunter jumpers in Utah.


    As 2022 is coming to a close, we are excited to announce a newly elected board with  some familiar faces and new ones as we ramp up for next year:


    President: Candice Hasenyager

    Vice President: Anne Godfrey

    Secretary: Kacey Barnes

    Treasurer: Anne Harding

    Events Committee: Mariah Baird

    Young Riders Committee: Sabine Duncan & Megan Switzer

    Awards Committee: Ashley Ainsworth 

    Sponsorship Committee: Katie Goates

    Online Editor Extraordinaire: Doug Kirby 


    The board will focus on three elements: service, opportunity, and community. Some of my initial goals for the Board are to survey the membership on how the UHJA is doing and where there are opportunities for improvements, update the rule book, and look forward to new possibilities with the USHJA’s outreach program.

    We are a volunteer board committed to serving the UHJA and you, the members, and we are looking to make 2023 the best yet.


    Candice Hasenyager

    UHJA President
