New Site Features
We've added tons of new things as you can see. A whole new look with better
layout and graphics was long overdue. We updated the colors, keeping
the MHJA flavor but with a new flair. A cool new changing background adds
some pizzazz. The Flash header on the most important pages brings quality to
the whole site.
The menus and buttons have been logically organized with drop down menus for
ease of navigation. The Contact page with message form, makes it easy to get
your message through. Easy to find Forms make it simple to do what you
want to do. Want to check your Points? Simple dropdown menus make that a
snap. Check out the new Flash Photo Galleries! Now you have several to
select from. Want to hear some tunes while you check your points? Let us
know & we'll turn on the embedded MP3 Player. A sitemap and search feature
let you find what you want fast.
Want a quick glance at What's new or Upcoming Events? Or maybe check out who
has a Birthday this month? Our new side boxes make that effortless. Click on
the new Calendar to see what's going on this whole month. It's now possible
to have video embedded here as well. Maybe the most important change is that
this site is now compliant with current web standards. This will make the
site appear and function correctly in all the common browsers and display
resolutions!
We welcome comments and criticizims. Please let us know what you think.
What would you like to see that we don't have? What would you like to get
rid of?
Thanks for your patience with us concerning the old site. We feel this new
one was worth the wait!
Welcome
Welcome to the new and improved MHJA website! This has been in the works for well over a year and it's finally ready to go live! We have completely rebuilt the site from scratch, with a whole new look & feel. There are many new features and well, cool stuff. So navigate around to find out what's all here. Websites are never really finished, so this is still a work in progress. We will be adding new elements and features as time permits, and we will be looking for improvement opportunities as well. Your input is important to us, so please let us know how you like the new site.
MHJA This and That
Dear MHJA Members,
I hope this is finding all of you well as we start the summer show season. We have several new venues to show at this year, and it looks like our calendar is pretty full. With it being a new show season, please keep a few things in mind as you attend our local shows.
First of all, please be aware of the current rules and regulations governing our sport. The United States Equestrian Federation has a very user-friendly website containing many helpful links as well as the USEF rule book. For our locally sanctioned shows, you should read the current MHJA rule book and the show prize lists very carefully. Rules and regulations can change slightly from show to show, but we always default to the USEF rulebook if the issue has not been covered in the MHJA rules.
Secondly, demonstrate good sportsmanship and good horsemanship on and off of the show grounds. When you get to the heart of it, we are all going to the horse shows to show off our horses and have a good time. When you have a concern, respectfully approach the horse show management or one of us on the MHJA board. We all, exhibitors through horse show management, need to work together to maintain a positive horse show environment.
And last but not least, have fun! We spend a lot of time and money doing this, so enjoy it!
I look forward to seeing you all at the shows this season. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach me via phone at (412) 956 – 0710 or via email (laurenprisuta@mhja.us).

MHJA Point System
We thought it would be a good idea to inform you all as to how the point system works. As you know, the points are posted on this site and the date updated is shown on the home page. However, this may not include all show results up to that date.
MHJA sanctioned shows must send us the show results via U.S. mail. This can take from a few days to a few weeks. We can only post the points from the results we have received, so far. Also, we do not receive show results in show order. For example, we may have results from a show last week, but not from a show three weeks ago. All this means is that you cannot follow along show by show keeping track of your points. It also means that points you know you've earned may not show on the web site. Don't worry, they will. Just as soon as we receive the show results.
We are now posting the list of show results we have recieved on the Points page.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
