Best of JN: Relive the Experience at USHJA Hunter Derby Championships

Take a look at this year’s USHJA finals.

I may be a jumper at heart, but I will be the first to admit that I love the hunter derby classes. Each year I watch as horse after horse tackles the stunning, yet tricky courses at the USHJA International Hunter Derby Championships, and each year I am in awe of how gorgeous these horses go around. The derbies display precision at its finest and always feature horses with striking jump forms. How can you not love watching them? With some help from Kentucky Performance Products, we are bringing you a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s finals so you can relive the experience again and again and again.

We had a great week at the USHJA Green Incentive and International Derby Finals! Couldn’t be more pleased with how well all our young horses jumped around the beautiful courses. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful animals and the most supportive barn family!
