Manitoba Hunter Jumper Association
Welcome to the Manitoba Hunter Jumper Association
The Manitoba Hunter Jumper Association
Here you can find out some information on Manitoba's organization dedicated to the promotion of equestrian show jumping and hunter jumping.
The Manitoba Hunter Jumper Association seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- To schedule and organize hunter jumper shows
- To provide liaison with similar equine councils including the Manitoba Horse Council and Equine Canada
- To serve as an educational medium for its members by distributing information relative to the horse industry and equestrian activities by bringing speakers of authority to meetings of the association and by organizing seminars and clinics.
- To promote the highest standards of care in caring for and working with horses at home, when training and at competition.
We are a not-for-profit organization with a volunteer board and run solely on the volunteer efforts of our members.
We have strong sponsorship from firms who support our organization's efforts and we are always striving to improve our services to our growing membership.
We are calling for MHJA rider biographies, so to get yours on the site! Email websiteadmin@manitobahunterjumper.com to get the template.

About the Program
The P'tit Trot program is aimed at kids aged 6 - 12 with little
or no previous riding experience. The program provides children
with a pleasant introduction to horseback riding.
Depending on the program enrolment level of the participant, some of the learning components may include: grooming, hoof care, general horse care, basic tack, parts of the saddle, > adjusting a halter, colors, breeds, how to mount the horse, sitting trot, and transitions between the gaits.
Each level has both a theoretical and practical component that participants must learn by the end of the level to move on to the next. Each level focuses on specific components of riding and more importantly, on taking care of the participants' new friend-the horse!
As each component is learned, participants progress to the point where they are able to master a specific skill. Games are incorporated into each component providing the riders the opportunity to learn by playing.
For more information on these two exciting programs please contact the Manitoba Horse Council Office at 1.204.925.5719. Space is limited so please reserve your spot as soon as possible! NOTE: Registration for these two programs will only be accepted via telephone.
