2009 Fee Increase
|
|
Orange County has increased the
usage fees for Clarcona Horse Park in 2009. The new fee
schedule effectively doubles the cost of holding a horse show at
Clarcona. These fee increases will be apperant to
exhibitors in the form of increased class entry fees and stall
fees.

2009 Horse Recording
|
|
As we approach the beginning of
another show year, owners are reminded that they are responsible
for ensuring that their horse is properly recorded. Horses
which are not recorded do not accumulate points. It is
very important that a horse is recorded only once, under the
correct owner's name and under the correct horse's name.
Duplicate recordings, recordings of the same horse under more
than one name or more than one owner cause errors when applying
points. The Recording Committee has no way of knowing that
"High'n'Mighty" recorded by Trainer A is the same
horse as "Pookie" recorded by Owner B. Please
help eliminate this confusion and make sure you get all the
points that you've earned by properly recording your horse for
2009. The 2009 membership and recording forms have been
mailed to all current GOHJA members and are posted below.

Letter from the President
|
Dear GOHJA members,
We are nearing the end of
another great year at GOHJA. The GOHJA board and committee
members have been working hard trying to improve the
organization to meet our members’ needs. Membership is
increasing yearly. This is a very exciting thing.
Recently, I received a comment from a new GOHJA member who
participated in GOHJA years ago as a junior. She was
amazed at how much it had positively changed. GOHJA is
evolving. We will be celebrating its 30th Anniversary at
the banquet this year.
It is time to renew membership for next year.
The forms are enclosed. Membership runs from December 1 to
November 30 each year. Please check the website for
benefits and requirements of membership. You must be a
member to participate in any Medal class at a GOHJA show, and to
receive points toward any year-end awards. Be sure to sign the
form on the reverse side, it can not be processed without a
signature. And don’t forget to record your horses and ponies.
Horses and ponies not recorded will not receive points toward
end of year awards.
It is also the time of year
where the board considers the slate for the upcoming year.
We encourage all our members to get involved in the different
activities that are worked on to keep GOHJA going.
Participation is important to make things happen. Please
get involved. Horse show stewards are being sought after.
If you are 18 years or older and find yourself at the show all
day long, why not get paid for it!?! It is easier than t
sounds, and you will have a lot of support. Please contact
Patty Maddox, Steward Chair, via email: stewards@gohja.org for
more information.
The 30th GOHJA banquet is
just around the corner. Please join the fun. Support
your family, friends, & barn mates. We are proud
of all the exhibitors and look forward to seeing so many receive
the recognition that they deserve. Go to the GOHJA website
to see how you can congratulate your favorite rider or thank
your favorite trainer in this years banquet program.
Please refer to the GOHJA
website, www.gohja.org. It
has a wealth of information on it. Download horse show schedules
and entry forms, record your horses, and learn the rules of your
division. Thank you Pam Capers for all your hard work and
web maintenance over the years.
The world is in a precarious
place. Support the good things in life. Always do
your best and keep a positive outlook.
Regards to all, and
happy riding!
Melissa Vander Vennet
GOHJA, Inc. President

Mini-Medal Rule Change
|
|
The Board of Directors has approved a rule change
which allows exhibitors on ponies to compete in
Mini-Medal. Exhibitors are still restricted to entering
only one medal class at a show and all other rules and
restrictions of the medal divisions still apply. In
addition, the lines and fence heights will not be adjusted for
ponies. Refer to GOHJA Rulebook for complete text of rule
change.

Pony Measurements
|
|
All exhibitors of Ponies are reminded that in
order to compete in the Pony divisions, the Pony must be
measured by a GOHJA Show Steward or you must present your USEF
Pony Measurement card to the Steward. The Steward will
then record the Pony on the GOHJA Pony List. The existing
Pony List has been added to the web site and can be found under
the Rules & Regulations page. If you have not had your
Pony measured or presented your USEF Pony Card, please make
arrangements to do so at your next show.
Stewards will be available at each GOHJA show
to measure ponies on Friday from 4:30-5:00 and on Saturday from
10:00-11:00 in front of the Show Office.

How and Why Points are Posted
|
|
It is the policy of GOHJA that final division
results are not revealed until the Year End Awards
Banquet. The topic of changing our traditional philosophy
on points posting has frequently been discussed at GOHJA Board
Meetings, but it remains the opinion of the Board that we should
continue to keep final points totals, and thus final division
results, secret until the Year End Awards Banquet.
Traditionally, GOHJA posts or publishes points
two times a year; usually once just before mid year and once
just before year end. This gives competitors a chance to
check for any errors in their points. Before the
introduction of the web site, we published these postings in our
newsletter "The Dotted Line".
The reason we only post point totals thru
April for the first posting is because we have several divisions
that only run for half the year...in other words their
"season" is December thru May and another
"season" starts in June and runs thru November.
So in effect, May is "Year End" for these divisions.
If we posted points thru May, everyone would know the placings
in these divisions before our Year End Awards Banquet in
November. For this reason, we will also not post
"year end" points all the way thru November...we'll
post thru Sept or Oct instead. Rest assured that all of
your points are counted, including the May show, even if the
point totals that are posted on the web site do not include the
May numbers.
Anyone that would like to discuss this policy
with the Board is more than welcome to attend the Board
meetings.
If you feel there is a error in your points,
please send the specific discrepancy to rsecretary@gohja.org.
Blanket requests for all points for all shows will NOT be
honored. Please be respectful of Heather and her
time. She, as well as all of our volunteers, put in a
tremendous amount of work to make sure that GOHJA is the best
that it can be.

Age Restricted Classes
|
GOHJA sanctions several divisions which are
restricted entry based on the exhibitor's age on December 1st of
the show year. These divisions are:
Walk-Trot - must be 12 or younger
Short Stirrups - must be 12 or younger
Long Stirrups - must be 13 or older
Mini Medal - must be 14 or younger
Medal - must be 15 or older
Equitation - divided into four divisions
based on age:
11 &
younger, 12-14, 15-17 and 18&older (adult)
In addition, the Pony Hunter divisions (not Children's Pony) and
the Pony Medal have age restrictions based on the height of the
pony as follows:
Small Ponies - 12 or younger
Medium Ponies - 14 or younger
Large Ponies - 17 or younger (any
Junior)
When entering classes, please check the age restrictions and
make sure you are eligible to show in that class.
Exhibitors who show in classes for which they are not eligible
will have all points revoked and can be required to return all
prizes and ribbons won. Habitual offenders will have
charges filed against them with the Hearings Committee.
