The Story Behind INHJA

Founded in 1972, the Iowa Nebraska Hunter Jumper Association (INHJA) has been supporting and growing the hunter/jumper community in the Midwest for over five decades.

Our mission is to provide affordable, well-organized competition while fostering a welcoming environment for riders, trainers, families, and barns across Iowa and Nebraska. INHJA was built on the belief that showing should be both competitive and enjoyable — a place where riders can learn, progress, and feel part of something bigger.

Whether you’re stepping into the show ring for the first time or pursuing year-end awards, INHJA is proud to offer opportunities that emphasize sportsmanship, accessibility, and community.

We are honored to carry on a tradition that began in 1972 and to continue serving the next generation of Midwest hunter/jumper riders.

Support INHJA

Founded in 1972, the Iowa Nebraska Hunter Jumper Association has thrived for over five decades thanks to the support of our members, volunteers, and sponsors. Sponsorship plays a vital role in helping INHJA provide affordable, high-quality hunter/jumper competition across Iowa and Nebraska.
