Joining HSV makes a rider and horse eligible for Year End Awards. A great way for your rider and horses to shine in a competitive show series at the local level. Psst and we have a great banquet and year end awards ;)
Rider memberships must be renewed annually. The show season begins on December 1. Points accrue from the date of membership payment. A junior's show age is their age on December 1st. Horse memberships are lifetime memberships.
