The Washington State Hunter Jumper Association (WSHJA) 2017 Annual Awards Banquet, held on January 6th 2018 at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency Hotel, was an opportunity for Parkside riders and trainers to celebrate another fantastic year!
The Parkside community gathered at multiple tables to enjoy a delicious dinner, fun games and dancing – and to collect our 2017 National Awards.
WSHJA’s National Awards are presented to member riders and horses competing at a national level. Competing at Del Mar International, HITS Desert Circuit, Thunderbird Showpark or Capital Challenge, as well as many other USEF rated shows across the United States and Canada, WSHJA riders and their horses represent the competitive talent and spirit of Washington State hunters, jumpers and equitation riders.
