Since I am unable to attend the United States Hunter Jumper Association - USHJA Annual Meeting in Charlotte, NC this year, I submitted the following Zone 12 Report:

2023 RECAP
The Zone 12 Committee hosted their 2023 June clinic in Anchorage, bringing up clinician Jeff Cook for the second consecutive year. The clinic was well attended and educational for both riders and auditors.

Zone 12 held its first Outreach Series and Festival in 2023, with shows hosted by Eaton Equestrian Centre LLC and Valley Horse Show Association in Anchorage and Palmer. Melanie Mader flew up for the Festival, bringing great prizes and much appreciated assistance and support. Junior rider Brooklyn Thurman won the Zone 12 Golden Backstage Pass to the USHJA National Championships, and represented Alaska well as she took advantage of the opportunity to show and participate in educational activities in Las Vegas.

2024 PLANS
The 2024 Zone 12 clinic will be held June 21-23 in Anchorage. This year we are pleased to have Mr. Britt Mccormick, USHJA president-elect/trainer/judge/course designer/show manager as our clinician.

Plans are underway for our second Outreach Series and Festival, with two Anchorage dates on the books and more in the works. We hope to finalize and publicize show dates soon.

The Zone 12 Committee thanks USHJA's Kevin Price, Mary Babick Knowlton, Melanie Mader, and Emily Martinez for their ongoing support of Zone 12 activities.
