History
The Tasmanian Showjumping Association Inc. was formed in February 1975, by a group of horse enthusiasts throughout the state who’s interests were focused on Show Jumping.
The original committee positions were as follows:
President: Mr Jim Osborne
Snr Vice President: Mr John Ibbott
Vice President: Mr Des Hills
Secretary: Mrs Elizabeth Richards
Publicity Officer: Mr Lindsay Chilcott
Treasurer: Mrs Marie Viney
Six Committee positions:
Misses J Atkinson

Mrs Judith Kilby
Messrs M Jasen,

Chris Taylor.
In 1983 a discussion took place by the state council and it was decided that a restructure into 3 branches would take place. South, North & North West branches were formed with each branch having to nominate a representative/s for the state executive. It was resolved that each branch would have a committee of 12. At this meeting it was decided that the awards of Senior & Junior “Show Jumper of the Year” would be conducted over the 10 spring shows.
