Southern Maryland Horse Assoc. Disbands
Are you a high school student rider? You may be eligible for $1,000 in grant money!
T e Southern Maryland Horse Association was founded in 1984 with the mis- sion to promote horsemanship, good sportsman- ship and the better- ment of the eques- trian sport. T e organization host- ed several school- ing shows a year at the Prince George’s Equestrian Center. SMHA off ered a

are awarded and prize money distributed have been made for the 2012 season. Eff ective De- cember 1, 2011, GR312 General CH3 Compe- tition Licensing now states that in the Hunter division, the Increment System will determine points for ribbons won in any rated section.

In the past, the point value for “B” or “C” shows was based on the number of entries shown and for “A” shows, it was based on the number of entries and the amount of prize money awarded. T e rule continues to state: In addition, in the First and Second Year Green
Hunter, High Performance Hunter, Performance Working Hunter 3’3” and 3’6”, Green Conforma- tion Hunter and Regular Conformation Hunter, standings for all National Horse of the Year Awards based on money won will be determined by dollars won in the horses’ respective sections.
