OHJA Points/MembershipDecember 1, 2011 marked the beginning of a new year for accumulation of points for the 2012 year end awards. It is important to activate your membership and register your horses before attending your first show of the 2012 new season to ensure that your points will count toward the awards. Your prompt renewal will also guarantee that you receive Flying Changes, which will be included as part of a membership package for those who join or renew by March 31, 2012. A copy of the membership application may be downloaded from the OHJA website. To facilitate the correct recording of your points for year end awards, please make sure the owner, rider and horse registration names used on your renewal application are identical to the names shown on USEF records. All owners/lessees and riders must be current OHJA members at the time the horse is shown in order to accumulate points toward year end awards. Please contact Melanie if you have questions regarding your membership or accumulation of points.Thank you! We wish to give a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored or donated to the 2011 OHJA awards banquet, as well as those who volunteered to help with its preparation.
