This year has been a new and ever changing challenge to the entire horse community. The CHJA board of directors takes our responsibility to the membership very seriously. We are a group of elected volunteers who give our time with the goal of making horse showing in Colorado fun, equitable, competitive, and rewarding. This year, as never before, we have had to add health consequences for our competitors to our list of concerns.

Morgan Maucher and Maddie McAllister have received scholarships from the Colorado Hunter Jumper Foundation. Morgan earned a $2,000 Category A scholarship and $500 CHJA Spirit of Excellence in Honor of Morgan Maucher. (In something of a fun twist, Morgan won the 2019 Group II Spirit of Excellence Award which gives a scholarship honoring the winner of that Year End Award. She then went on to earn that scholarship!)
