As a member of the GHJA, you can compete for GHJA year end high point awards from beginner to advanced levels – and everything in between. Points are earned by winning ribbons at GHJA recognized horse shows at either the “Local” level or at the “Regular” level, held throughout Georgia and its contiguous states.

Point Updating
Points are updated once a month after all horse show results for the previous month have been filed with the office. Usually, the points posting will occur between the 15th and 21st. For example, points updated to include June results will be posted on the website between July 15th and July 21st. The final year end posting will be as soon after December 1st as possible to allow adequate time for review before points become final.

​Point Audit
If you feel that your point accumulation is not correct, you will need to file a local or regular audit form with the Points Secretary or contact the Points Secretary via e-mail with the details of the discrepancy. Please be specific about horse show, date, division or class, name and GHJA number of horse and/or rider. Final audit forms are due in the office by December 10th. After that date, points will stand as posted for year end awards.

Current Pony Measurements 

All ponies must have a measurement to compete in any pony hunter sections. A measurement can be set up through show management at the show office for each horse show. Once you're pony has been measured by a Steward, it will be recorded with GHJA. Check to see if your pony is has a measurement through GHJA click here.

Local horse shows are a natural starting point for your show career with one day shows and with many divisions to choose from which are suitable for a novice. Local shows can also be a more affordable option for advanced riders or for riders looking for mileage with an inexperienced mount. By contrast, Regular Member shows are those which are recognized by the USEF and the GHJA and offer competition at the highest levels of hunter and jumper riding. These shows are usually held over several days at horse show facilities throughout the southeast. Whatever your age, experience, skill, or ambition, you will find a division and a level that will be just right for you to compete in and enjoy!

​GHJA sanctions both Regular and Local member competitions for points toward year end awards and those point standings are maintained separately for two complete year end award programs.GHJA Regular Member shows have received a USEF sanctioning as an “AA”, “A”, “B”, or “C” rated show.GHJA Local Member shows are not recognized by the USEF, although they may be sanctioned by other state or local organizations.
