Founded in 1987, SWVHJA’s mission statement is as follows:
The mission of the Southwest Virginia Hunter/Jumper Association is to promote and encourage good sport and good horsemanship; to better educate both the horse and rider for safety and enjoyment in the saddle and on the ground and most importantly, to develop knowledge for the humane treatment of the horse.
