The Show Jumping Hall of Fame and Museum, formally opened in 1989, was organized to promote the sport of show jumping and to immortalize the legends of the men, women and horses who have made great contributions to the sport. The focus of this noble institution is to encourage broader interest and participation in show jumping, as well as to educate devoted equestrians and novice horse lovers alike, by sharing the sport's legends, lore and landmark achievements.

The Show Jumping Hall of Fame, Inc. is headed by such dedicated officers as George H. Morris, Eugene R. Mische, Elizabeth Busch Burke, Frank Chapot, Bill Steinkraus, Marcia Williams and Larry Langer. The building is located in Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida next to the Budweiser Clydesdales exhibit and we invite you to visit soon.

Enshrinement in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame is a great honor bestowed upon those whose contributions have set them apart. Each year electors may vote for a maximum of two people and one horse. Since the establishment of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1987, only 40 people and 15 horses have been honored with induction.
