member of the Federation and USHJA.
A maximum of 290 (120 3'6” and 170 3'3”) horses will be accepted to compete, however USEF reserves the right to
adjust this number to ensure fair and consistent point qualification standards and a safe competition environment. The
number of entries accepted per section will be determined based on the current qualified numbers and past years' entries.
Entries for the Adequan/USEF Junior Hunter National Championships will be accepted based on the following:
1. Spaces will first be filled with horses that qualified by winning a championship or reserve championship in an “A,”
“AA,” “B,” or “C” rated Junior Hunter 3'3” or 3'6” section between June 1, 2019, and May 31, 2020, OR being in

2019, through May 31, 2020. Horses that are champions in their respective sections at the previous year's USEF
Junior Hunter National Championships may return without qualifying.
2. If there are still open spaces, additional horses not otherwise qualified may be eligible to compete in the national
championship based on National Horse of the Year (HOTY) points in their respective sections. These horses shall
be accepted based on the National HOTY points earned by horses in their top 15 competitions starting on or
after June 1, 2019, through competitions starting on or before May 31, 2020. Points from both the younger and
older Junior Hunter sections shall be counted.

The competition will be conducted in three separate phases:

one direction, halt and back. Light contact with the horse’s mouth is required. Judged on performance and soundness.
Manners and suitability shall be emphasized.
Classic Round: To count 40%. The course must maintain at least ten obstacles, have two changes of direction, and at
least one combination. There shall be one single oxer on the course that shall be ridden at the gallop. Emphasis shall
be placed on “brilliance” for this round.

Handy Hunter: To count 40%. Obstacles should simulate those found in trappy hunt country. The course must have at
least two changes of direction and at least one combination. Horses are required to trot over one fence on the course
and may be asked to open a gate while mounted. Emphasis shall be places on “handiness” for this round.
Scoring
Under Saddle Phase: Horses shall be judged in groups of twelve or less. Each horse shall be judged and given a number
score based on its performance.
Handy Hunter and Classic Round: Each entry will be given a numerical score based on its performance. In both the
classic and handy round, exhibitors will be eliminated after two cumulative refusals.
Miscellaneous
The same junior exhibitor is required to show an entry in all phases of the competition. Per HU124.3, exhibitors will be
eliminated after two cumulative refusals.
Note: If a horse/rider combination does not complete a phase or is eliminated from that phase, that horse will
receive a score of “0” for that phase but may continue on to compete in the remaining phases of the competition. A
horse with a total score of “0” for a phase is not eligible for an award for that phase but is eligible for an overall
award.
Judging
All three judges will judge each phase simultaneously but independently of each other. Each judge will give every entry a
score for each phase. Prior to the Under Saddle and Handy Hunter, each entry’s score in the previous phase shall be
totaled and announced. During the over fences phase, the Open Numerical Scoring System is used. After each entry
completes the course each judge’s score for the round is immediately shown or announced. The total overall score for
each entry is then calculated as soon as it has completed the last phase.
Ties
Ties will be broken based on the score of the judge that is designated as judge number one for each phase of the
competition. If a ties still exists for the overall standings, the score from the Classic Round will break such a tie.
