The Harford Horse Shows Association (HHSA) was established in the late 1960's and is proud to be based out of Harford County, Maryland. The associations goal is to promote and sponsor horse shows, clinics and special horse associated events for its members, family and friends. To join the HHSA, go to our Becoming A Member page, print out the membership application, enclose a check, and mail it to the membership committee chairman, Karen Cannon. Becoming a member of HHSA will ensure points earned during the show season will be counted towards the year end awards banquet.

The HHSA show season runs from April thru September with October thru March being the off months. During the show season, HHSA recognizes from 15-17 shows at various state of the art facilities in Harford, Baltimore and York Counties.

Equitation finals for both qualified Juniors and Seniors has grown over the last few years.  We have had the fortune to have judges such as Rodney Jenkins,  Susan Sisco and Karyn Immerman participate at our final. Last season, 45 riders competed at the Heavenly Waters Equestrian Center in Bel Air for the Harford Hunt Seat Equitation Medal and the USET Adult Equitation Medal.

Each season is celebrated with an annual year end Awards Banquet with ribbons, prizes and trophies being awarded to 1st through 8th place in approximately 23 divisions. HHSA also presents trophies to high point earners for both pony and horse each show season. Sportsmanship awards are presented at the year end awards banquet, also, to recognize both a Junior and Senior for their outstanding sportsmanship throughout the show season.  In addition to these awards, several shows, sanctioned by the HHSA, award trophies to the show champions.
