About the MSA
The Maryland Steeplechase Association, Inc. is a not-forprofit corporation organized for the purpose of promoting and
developing amateur equestrian athletic sports competition
through the Governor’s Cup Series, for fostering traditional
relationships between foxchasing and steeplechasing,
and for the development, administration, and support of
educational programs and clinics for all levels of amateur
equestrian competition. MSA accomplishes these goals by
providing awards and incentives for amateur athletes and
by creating and awarding various youth scholarships for the
development of future sportsmen. Membership is open to
each race meet in Maryland; membership entitles the race to
two seats on the Board, with 5 at-large seats and the option
for a seat for an NSA licensed steward; nominations for which
may come from steeplechasing community.
