Incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered.

All horses/riders that end up CH of your division, please mail the photo to me NO LATER than January 5, 2011. Many of you often ask when the issue will be published and the answer is March 11, 2011.

Thank you again for joining KHJA and I look forward to another great year ahead.

Photo Submissions: o Champions only. o Action shots only. o Original color prints only-no copies or digital emailed photos accepted. o All required information must be printed on photo (see below). o Only photos submitted with the mailed results by the association will be accepted.

Photos must be submitted by the association only. After the issue is published, the photos will be returned to the association (not individuals). (Note: Photos are held for a couple weeks following publication so any questions relating to them can be addressed. Photos will be returned to the assocations in early April.)

ALL of the following information MUST be on all photos:

• Name of the Association
• Horse
• Rider in the photo
• Owner
• Photographer's name (even if not a professional)

Include all the information, even for equitation classes. It helps us match the names to see if they won in other organizations. Double-check all spelling!

Photos should be color prints. Emailed digital photos NOT ACCEPTED.

Include photos for the champions only-reserve champion photos are not used.

We do not accept digital photos on disk or via e-mail for the Horse Show Issue. We can only accept original prints.

The photographer's authorization for publication, if necessary, must be included with the photograph. For some photographers we have their releases on file. However, not all photographers give blanket releases and there are instances where this release is not sufficient. Read this letter for some examples of those situations. If in doubt, ask your photographer.

We will only accept original photographic prints. We will not accept copies of professional photographers' photos, proofs, scanned copies, photos that are not clear and of poor reproductive quality, digital images, or vignette prints and photos. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a photo, we will not accept it.

If a horse or pony has won multiple championships, only one photo will be used. If a horse or pony won its division with one rider and another rider won an equitation division on that same horse or pony, the photo with the equitation rider on the horse or pony will be the one used.

Photos must be action shots. Do not send candid or award photos; they will be rejected. (Hunter Breeding is the exception.) Photos must be of high quality and must be printed on quality photo paper. Personal photos printed on your home printer are not high enough quality and should be professionally printed at high resolution.

Photos must be no smaller than 31/2" x 5" and no larger than 8" x 10".

Photos must be from the 2010 show season. If there is a sticker/stamp or copyright date on your photo that shows a year other than 2010, your photo will be rejected.

If your photo has a sticker on it, put there by the professional photographer who took the photo, that says it must be of a certain size before it can be published, then it must be of that size or be accompanied by a release from the photographer for that specific photo. A blanket release from the photographer does not include these photos.

Photos that are unauthorized copies of a professional's photo will be rejected. We cannot accept a professional's photo that you have scanned and re-printed. A release from the photographer does not include these photos. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a photo, we will not accept it.

NEW THIS YEAR: Winners of USHJA and USEF Horse of the Year Awards should submit their photos directly to us if they wish to have their photos in The Chronicle's Horse Show Issue. We will no longer be receiving photos from the national organizations.

All photos MUST come together with the results FROM THE ASSOCIATION'S SECRETARY. Photos should NOT be sent separately by individuals or by photographers. The association is responsible for verifying all photos meet required standards before sending.

If you have any questions regarding these guidelines please contact Melanie Harrison at results@chronofhorse.com.

I haven't received any photos yet for the COTH. If you are way ahead in the point standings and are pretty sure you will stay in the Championship position, please go ahead and send me your photo. I sent the extensive list of "rules" in an earlier e-mail, so please make sure to double check that you have followed those "to a T".

Please remember that in order for you to vote for the BOD, you must have renewed your membership prior to the banquet for 2010 and your name and address MUST be on the outside of the envelope. DO NOT send reservations in with your ballots, as they are not opened until the night of the banquet. I will be sending you a wristband after I receive your reservation. You MUST bring this with you to the banquet in order to get in. Just like a concert, you will NOT be let in if you don't have it. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We will be doing something different this year for those of you that would like to come to the banquet, but don't wish to have dinner. You will need to RSVP and the price for those reservations will be $5. You will also receive a wristband that will be a different color to signify that you will not be eating. We hope that this will help in the confusion of reservations. Thank you all so much for being a part of our association. I look forward to seeing you at the banquet.

Have a very safe and Happy Holiday season!!

All photos MUST come together with the results FROM THE ASSOCIATION’S SECRETARY. Photos should NOT be sent separately by individuals or by photographers. The association should verify all photos meet required standards before sending.

I want to be able to put as many photos from KHJA in the issue as possible, so plese follow these guidelines carefully. They've been doing this for a LONG time and know what's legit and what's not, so don't try and fool them. The photos will be sent back to me and I will make sure they get back to you.

The deadline for The Chronicle is January 15, so I will be mailing our results to them no later than January 10. Please have your photos to me before then. I will NOT be accepting them in person at the banquet, they must be mailed. Thanks!

Second, I just wanted to remind everyone of the KHJA Annual Meeting and the KHJA/USHJA Zone 5 Banquet to be held in the Keeneland Entertainment Center in Lexington, KY on January 9. The schedule is as follows:

3:30 Jr. Meeting
4:00 Annual Meeting
5:00 Rood and Riddle Seminar
6:00 Silent Auction and Cocktails
Dinner and Banquet to follow.

An Adult meal is $40 and a Child meal (11 & Under only) is $20.

Invitations were mailed out a few weeks ago and all reservations must be made by mail NO LATER THAN JANUARY 1. Absolutely no reservations will be taken after that date. When this date was set, we weren't thinking of the fact that mail wouldn't run on this day. Due to this, if you plan on mailing your reservation, you will have to mail it by Dec.30 at the very latest. Any reservations recieved after Jan. 1 will be returned.

No one will be allowed into the Silent Auction/Dinner without a reservation. Please remember that if you are going to be donating a basket for the auction that there is a form on the website that you need to print, fill out and bring to the banquet with the basket.

Thank you so much and we will see you in a few weeks.

First and most important, ,NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED INTO THE BANQUET (not the meeting) WITHOUT A RESERVATION. No exceptions. We are having a sit down dinner and each person will have a placecard with a certain color dot on it so the servers will know what you have ordered for dinner. We have been given a date in which we must give Keeneland a final number. Once that date has passed, no more reservations will be accepted under any circumstances. So, if you show up at the door without a reservation, you will no be allowed in. This has been a HUGE problem in the past, please make reservations. The adult plate will be $40 and the child's plate is $20. The menu will be with the invitation.

Another problem we've had in the past are with the envelopes. Please don't put your dinner check in with your ballots. The ballots are not opened until the night of the banquet, so you will not have a reservation if you do this. Also, if you take the time to fill out the ballots, please make sure you put your name on the outside of the envelope where you would normally put a return address or it will not be counted.

Thank you so much for your time. I hope that you will be able to join us this year. In addition to being the KHJA banquet, we will also be the host for the USHJA Zone 5 Awards banquet. This is the first time we have done this and we are very excited about it.

Lexington, KY, December 16, 2008 – The Kentucky Horse Council (KHC), in partnership with the Kentucky Hunter Jumper Association (KHJA), announced a new program to reward KHJA members competing on rescued horses in 2009.

A $300 cash prize will be given to the KHJA competitor riding a rescued horse with the greatest accumulation of points in 2009. Year end points are tallied by KHC, and the 2009 rescue horse high point winner will be recognized at the 2010 KHJA banquet and at the KHC Annual Conference.

Any KHJA member who competes on an adopted horse is eligible for a year end high point award regardless of the competing division. Interested KHJA members should apply by completing a form available through KHJA or the KHC office and including a copy of the adoption contract. KHJA members seeking to compete for the high point award on rescued horses without an adoption contract may submit an application and essay describing the rescue situation. A panel of KHJA representatives and KHC staff will review applications and make eligibility decisions.

“Supporting the rehoming and retraining of horses through this program is just one of the ways the Kentucky Horse Council encourages equine rescue and rehabilitation efforts,” remarked Madelyn Millard, KHC Board President. “In this economic climate it is especially important to provide recognition and support those horse owners who develop second careers for rescued horses.”

KHJA show managers will have information and applications at 2009 horse shows. Only KHJA members who have completed an application and submitted it to the Kentucky Horse Council will be eligible for the year end award. For more information contact Essie Rogers at 859-367-0509 or erogers@kentuckyhorse.org.

ATTENDANCE AT THESE MEETINGS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO VALUE MASTERSON STATION PARK FOR EQUESTRIAN USE.B

Input received at these meetings WILL determine how parks are used in the next 10 years. Lex Parks and Rec and the consultants who have been hired to complete the new master plan need to hear from ALL horse people who want no changes at Masterson.

There is pressure from the neighborhoods to convert land at Masterson into more high-density uses and uses that are not compatible with equestrian users.

Please make plans to attend any or all of these meetings. Numbers are vitally important and horse people need to make their voices heard. The importance of Masterson as an equestrian facility cannot be overstated. There need to be horse people at every one of these meetings! Please call your friends, make plans to carpool, and distribute this information to all who love to ride at Masterson Station Park.

If you have any questions, please call me!

If you would like to purchase a ticket, please contact me and they will be mailed to you. They are 1 for $5 or 5 for $20. All proceeds will go towards the KHJA Scholarship Fund.

Participants in our programs the past couple years are now riding - many with scholarships - at top riding schools like Virginia Intermont, Texas A&M, Mount Holyoke, Oklahoma State, Hollins, Sweet Briar, Baylor, Kansas State, Findlay, Cazenovia, Charleston, Cornell, Skidmore, Lake Erie, Southern Methodist, Stonehill, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Xavier, Kentucky, South Dakota State, Penn State, Delaware, Ohio State, Saint Andrews, Virginia Tech, Mary Washington, Goucher, and many others! The top kid at the Lake Erie clinic last year earned a full ride to Texas A&M!

We're different than some other similar programs in that our emphasis is on EDUCATION of both rider and parents. As a college coach for over two decades, I know that most students and parents are confused and misinformed about the college riding scene. Campus visitors always come with the same questions, and this clinic is designed to answer those questions and more, to teach you how to choose a school with riding as a factor in your choice, and how to be recruited for scholarships if that is your goal.

Just two weeks until the George Morris Clinic: April 15, 16 and 17. If you would like to ride, have students that would like to ride, or would like to audit, please call this week in order to secure a spot.

Thanks for your interest.
