An Individual Membership is used when only ONE person is going to be showing. You can also be a Member and not compete

A Family Membership is when there is more than one person in the same household that will be competing at the shows. A parent of a competing member can join as a member using this type of membership even though they will not be showing. Also, if the Family also plans on "Participating" at meetings only one family member is required to attend the minimum meetings. This type of Membership intended to make it more cost effective for families that are showing horses. Example of what does NOT qualify as a Family: You are joining as a member and you also have a niece or nephew joining, because they are not part of your household & you are not the legal guardian, each of you will have to join as Individual members.

1. Members have voting rights at the Membership meetings for decisions & changes being proposed
2. Members in good standing can be nominated to run for an Office or a Trustee position.
3. Members receive a $2.00 discount off of class fee's for each class they participate in
4. Members with a paid sponsorship are eligible to have their points accumulated towards Year End Awards

What if I want to Join so that I can Vote at meetings & receive the class fee discount, but because (for example) I am unsure if I will be able to attend most of the shows, I do NOT want to have points accumulated towards year end?

Being eligible for Year End Awards is based on obtaining a Paid Sponsorship. You can join and indicate that your are not interested in being eligible for year end awards.
