Hunter Jumper Horses for Sale in Kentucky | Elite Equine Marketplace

Kentucky is one of the most iconic equestrian destinations in the world — and for the hunter jumper community specifically, the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington is the site of two of the most prestigious events in the sport: the USEF Pony Hunter National Championship and the Platinum Performance/USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship.

USEF Pony Finals at the Kentucky Horse Park

The USEF Pony Hunter National Championship — Pony Finals — is held annually at the Kentucky Horse Park each August, drawing over 600 ponies from across North America to compete in six divisions across three phases: model, under saddle, and over fences. For pony buyers and sellers, Kentucky Horse Park Pony Finals is the most important event of the year — ponies that have competed at Pony Finals carry extraordinary prestige, and Pony Finals-qualified ponies for sale in and around Lexington represent the gold standard of the pony hunter market.

USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship

The Platinum Performance/USHJA International Hunter Derby Championship is held annually at the Kentucky Horse Park in the iconic Rolex Stadium — offering $235,550 in prize money and drawing 30 of the best hunter derby horses in the country to compete in the Handy Round final. IHD Championship-experienced horses are among the most valuable horses in the hunter world, and Kentucky is home to many of the country's top derby programs and sellers.

Kentucky's Equestrian Community

Beyond the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington and Central Kentucky are home to a rich and active equestrian community with year-round training, breeding, and competition opportunities. Elite Equine Marketplace connects buyers with Kentucky-based sellers and horses with Kentucky Horse Park championship experience.
