The USHJA was formed in 2004 by Bill Moroney. In 2010, they opened their new offices at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.[2]
Major roles include representing all levels of riding in the hunter and jumper disciplines in the United States, and setting rules for the welfare of the horses in the discipline.
The USHJA has 12 zones for different regions of the country, each represented by a zone committee. Zone committees can bring issues brought to them to the USHJA leadership. Members of the committees are appointed by peers via election or by presidential appointment.
