Welcome!
Fostering enjoyment of participation with horses, sportsmanship, professionalism, and integrity are the values on which UPHA has built its decades of service to the horse community — that’s professionals, associates, organizations, governmental leaders that regulate us, and the larger community that supports our sport of competitive showing. There’s an evolving story to be told, and it’s up to you to tell it in ways that reflect these important values.
UPHA Chapter 10 represents the state of Illinois and proudly hosts three horse shows each year: the Winter Warm Up, the UPHA Chapter 10 Spring Show, and the UPHA Chapter 10 Fall Show. These events bring together exhibitors, trainers, and enthusiasts from across the Midwest to celebrate the show horse industry.
We invite you to learn more about each of our shows, explore the mission and programs of the United Professional Horsemen’s Association, and discover how you can get involved with your local chapter. Be sure to visit our Video Library to learn more about UPHA programs and the Chapter Handbook for additional information about our organization and activities.
