If you have not already done so, now is the time to renew your USEF, USHJA, NCHJA, SCHJA, and for those doing C shows- PSJ memberships. The beginning of the new show year starts December 1st confusingly enough, although SCHJA seems to have rolling membership??? . This can all be done online on each of the respective websites. Note that you do not need to be a member of the state associations- NCHJA or SCHJA unless you are participating in their medals however your points won’t count for year end recognition. A lot of our Cedarhill riders are attending the SCHJA banquet this year to pick up our fair share of year end awards and perhaps the NCHJA banquet. It is a lot of fun! If you are the only one that is a member, only your equitation point will be counted. If only your horse is a member (a lot of our Cedarhill owned horses are, but check to be sure) only their hunter points will count. If they aren’t a member, you will need to get a membership for their hunter points to count in the name of the horse’s owner. For BOTH TO COUNT, RIDERS and HORSES must be members!
To attend an A Show riders and horses must be members of USEF (national association) and USHJA ( it’s affiliate) or pay a non member fee. Most of our riders pay the discounted rate by getting a 3 membership.
