Trainers, be a part of the Trainer's Directory on the MHSA website!

Would you like for new people moving into our area to have an easy way to look up where to ride and have their horse in training? How about facilitating better communication between professionals and disciplines within our area? If someone came to you and asked you where to find a trainer who was not in your area of specialty, what could you refer them to? The MHSA website!

Attention Horse Show Secretaries and Managers

Two shows may be run simultaneously at the same facility. The shows may be run by the same organization or by two different organizations, assuming the cooperation and approval of both. This arrangement will benefit show management by allowing organizations to share the facility, insurance, and office expenses. Each show must have a separate judge. Exhibitors will benefit because they can show at one facility but be independently judged twice and earn points for two shows.

The fee for horse show recognition is $50. There is a multiple show discount for those organizations which have several shows in a series. The fee for the first show will be $50 but the fee for each additional show fee will be $40. Show recognition must be requested more than 30 days before the show date. The penalty for late recognition is $75.

Shows may apply for double point status. Show management will be able to offer exhibitors the benefit of double points but hire only one judge. The fee for a double point show will be $100 (the original $50 fee plus $50 premium).

About Your Points

To verify the accuracy of point tabulations you are invited to submit your list of shows to the point secretary no later than November 15, 2007. The list should include the name of the show, the class(es) in which you competed, and the results for each class. Award and ribbon orders are due shortly after the above date so lists not received by November 15th will not be verified and no changes will be made to the awards issued.

Attention Horse Show Managers

Show results must be received by the appropriate point secretary within 10 days after the competition. Failure to file your show results within that time period will result in a $25.00 fine which must be paid before your show can be renewed for any subsequent year. This requirement mirrors the 10 day deadline set by USA Equestrian.

Because of the large number of MHSA recognized shows it has become increasingly difficult to schedule them. If you intend to keep your same weekend from year to year it is necessary to reserve your date(s) prior to January 15. Early registration allows your show to appear on all newsletters and show lists mailed to members. It also makes it possible to provide you with mailing labels well in advance of your competition.
