Are you a Quiz enthusiast? Are you a member of both USPC and USHJA? You may have an opportunity to represent USPC at the USHJA Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Finals (HQC) held in November each year. HQC participants who are also USPC members may declare participation with either their respective zone team or the Pony Club team once they become eligible for HQC Finals. The finals will have 12 zone teams comprised of three finalists, one Pony Club team comprised of three finalists, and an additional 10 individual finalists who are not already on a team. All HQC participants must complete both the Level One and Two quizzes by September 1, of the year in which they would like to compete.
