Important Information About Medal Classes

CHJA Medal Class requirements state that only CHJA Members are permitted to compete in these classes. If the 4th member of a Medal Class is a non member, the class will not count and points will not be awarded.

Membership cards or numbers must be provided, or a membership application completed and dues paid at the time of registration for these classes. For any class to count, at least four riders (active CHJA members) must complete both phases of the class.
 
To make it easier for you to check membership status, and avoid the long lines as competitors search for their cards...just click on the Active Member Printable List to the right!

This is a simplified list especially for Show Management. If a member is active, they are on this list! You can easily check the entrants in the Medal Classes from your pre entries the day before the show. Then, make a copy of the list and take it to the show for your post entries. The list is updated daily and is a tool designed to make your jobs a little easier!

Remember!

If there are over 40 entrants, the class must be split.

The class consists of two phases.  The first phase is over obstacles and the second phase is on the flat with each phase counting 50%.  In order to win a ribbon, a rider must ride in the flat phase if asked to return.

The judge will select at least six contestants, if available, to compete in the second phase at a walk, trot and canter.

Where available, the judge shall pin a reserve.

 
T
he same horse shall be shown by the same rider in all phases.

Shows (Regular or Local) may offer one of each type of CHJA Medal class per show.  This applies to one- day or multi-day shows.

Exhibitors may compete in only one CHJA Medal Class per show.

Points are scored 10, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/2 regardless of the classification of the show or the number of entrants in the class.

If a rider qualifies for or has shown in a 3' equitation final including the CHJA Junior Medal, they are no longer eligible for the Children's Medal Final. This also means they can no longer show in the Children's Medal at regular shows.

A rider qualifying for the CHJA Junior Medal Final may choose to ride in either the Junior Medal Final or the Master's Medal Final. If a rider has ever qualified for any 3'6" (or higher) final prior to the end of the qualifying period for the current year's Medal Finals, (e.g., Medal/Maclay/Washington/USEF) they must ride in the Masters Medal Final.
