The USEF Junior Jumper National Championships consist of the Team Championship, known as the Prix des States, as well as the Individual Championship. Seven teams will compete in the 2023 Prix des States to have their zone’s name etched into the Francis Newbill Rowe Perpetual Trophy.

The Individual Championship Phase I, the $5,000 Welcome Speed Class, is the first of three days of competition starting on Thursday, followed by the $15,000 USEF Prix des States Team Championship and $5,000 Individual Championship Phase II on Friday. The Prix des States is run in a modified Nations Cup format. The team with the least number of faults at the end of two rounds will be awarded the team gold medal. In addition to team medals, the William C. Steinkraus Style Award will be presented to the Prix des States junior jumper athlete who best exemplifies the American style of riding and the respectful, dignified, courteous, and workmanlike manner of a true sportsman or sportswoman. The competition will end on Saturday with Phase III, the $10,000 USEF Junior Jumper Individual National Championship, to determine the individual medalists. The individual champion will be the competitor with the lowest number of total penalties across all three phases.
