Letter to the BRHJA Membership March 17, 2025

The Blue Ridge Hunter/Jumper Association is alive and boldly stepping forward in the show world of Upstate SC and Western NC. We are fully registered with the State of NC as a 501-non-profit. Thanks to Kristin Darbee we have a web page, “theBRHJA.org” (beware that the old website is obsolete and does NOT direct you to the BRHJA website).

We have most of the “bugs” worked out of the website and online payment system but be patient and contact us if something is not working properly. Our Facebook page is also active thanks to the work of Lauren Varney and Erin Connolly, and we welcome posts, pictures, shout outs, and conversations on social media. Please note that your posts will need to be verified prior to public posting, so it could be a day or so between your submission and the visual post online. Erin is also working on a link to Instagram which will connect the two platforms on social media. I want to publicly thank the entire board for the tremendous job that they have done so far in bringing the BRHJA back to life.

Every member of the Board has contributed an enormous amount of time and effort to create a product for the exhibitors that is fair to exhibitors, supportive of the equestrian sport, pro-active in its effort to instill positive and realistic competitive goals, while at the same time financially supportive of the organization itself. While we have made changes, they are all designed to strengthen the BRHJA and its viability into the future.

We on the BRHJA Board wish everyone a great show season, and hope that your knowledge gained as an equestrian rider will fulfill your ambition in a sport that demands the rare unification of human and animal partnerships.

Sincerely,
Lee Cone
President BRHJA

Points and Membership

Points have been updated as of 8/18/25

Because of the reorganization and the re-do of THE BRHJA, we have been very generous about
memberships and horse recordings.

For Equitation Divisions and the Medals the Rider and the Trainer MUST be members

For Hunter and Jumper Divisions and the Derby the Rider, Trainer, Horse and Owner MUST be members and Horse recorded

If after points have been updated, and you are sure that you, your trainer, and your horse are all members, you believe you are missing points you MUST fill out a points query form, with your name, your horses name, the divisions/classes (medals/derby) you are missing points and the shows you are missing points. If the form is not filled out we will not go back for those missing points.

If you have any questions or need assistance, with anything other than points queries,
please feel free to reach out to us.
