INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION MEMBERSHIP: $60 YEAR​​

To be eligible for Hunter and Jumper Year-End awards and accumulate points throughout the show season, BOTH the owner AND the rider of the horse must be an MHJA Competing Member. For Equitation, only the Rider must be an MHJA Competing Member. You must show at a minimum of 1 MHJA Recognized Horse Show during the competition year. If you plan to show with the MHJA this year, be sure to join or renew your membership early so you don't forget!
INDIVIDUAL SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP: $40 YEAR
