MHJA needs someone to donate TWO TROPHIES for the Annual Awards Banquet this season. The
trophies are for Low Adult Equitation OTF and Low Adult Equitation O/F. Please contact
the MHJA Office if interested in donating a trophy.
The mission of the Michigan Hunter-Jumper Association (MHJA) is to
enhance and stimulate the sport of riding and showing Hunters and Jumpers
in Michigan. The MHJA works to provide uniform standards for all Association
shows which establish safe, consistent, and fair competition. The MHJA
not only encourages each exhibitor to perform to the best of their ability,
it also encourages exhibitors and spectators to demonstrate good sportsmanship.
The MHJA show season begins on October 1 and extends through September 30.
Individual championships are awarded in all MHJA divisions at each horse
show. In addition, members and recorded horses may earn points throughout
the MHJA season towards annual championship awards in each MHJA division.
The MHJA provides for three levels of competition. Regular Member
shows, also known as the "B-Circuit" shows, are the highest level of
competition the MHJA offers. Some exhibitors use the Regular Member
shows to prepare for competition in nationally recognized American
Horse Show Association shows, also known as the USEF or "A-Circuit".
"C-Circuit" shows provide a good starting point for novice exhibitors.
This competition is designed to encourage exhibitors to develop the skill
and confidence they will need when they move on to compete at the more
advanced levels. Pony Circuit shows provide an environment where
ponies compete according to their height and experience. Classes are
especially designed for the younger rider.
