Competition Report (Microsoft Excel File)
• USHJA Outreach Medals may only be offered at USHJA Outreach Competitions.
• A minimum of two medal classes must be offered at each competition.
• Classes can be run in conjunction with other classes and/or medals currently offered that have
comparable specifications. However, if classes are run concurrently with another medal class
that does not require USHJA membership a second set of placings including only those who
are USHJA members are the ones that will be submitted to USHJA for the Outreach Medal
Awards Program. Please ask your judge to mark placings through 12 if available to assist
you in computing the placings for USHJA members.
• Management may opt to run a Junior and Amateur section for each height level or they may offer
a combined Jr./Amateur medal.
• Riders may only compete in one Outreach medal per competition.
• Three USHJA members/exhibitors must complete the course for the class to count.
• Management must submit results to USHJA within 10 days of the completion of the competition.
• $5 per entry for each USHJA member participating must be submitted to USHJA with results. This money will be designated towards the support of the high point awards for the medals.
Riders who are current USHJA members, at any level, will receive points towards a high point award.
One high point award will be presented for each medal to the rider (Jr. or Amateur) who accrues the most
points annually in each state. State awards are based on the residency of the rider. The qualifying period
for the high point award will be from December 1st to November 30th of the current competition year.
The winners from each state will be invited to the USHJA Annual Meeting to receive their awards.
Points are tabulated based upon the number of USHJA entries in the class plus one. First place will
receive point’s equal to the number of entries in the class plus one additional point. Second through sixth
place will receive points equal to the riders placing subtracted from the number of points available for
first place. (i.e. Third place entry in a class of ten - Eleven points minus third place = 8 points)
