PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

During the past few months, a fine selection of Utah hunters and jumpers visited out-of-state horse shows, mainly Scottsdale and Tucson, Arizona, also Thermal, California. While these horses jumped higher and better than ever under sunny skies, the horses that stayed home were able to keep up an unusually active schedule thanks to kinder and gentler Utah winter weather. Riding outdoors was a possible and pleasant daily activity at many barns. So when the UHJA shows begin in April and May, the horses should be more than ready to compete. This year’s schedule begins with two indoor shows—The Early Show at the S. Jordan Equestrian Park and an Alta Hills Show in Layton.

In preparation for this year’s festivities, the Utah Hunter and Jumper Board of Directors has held two very productive meetings scheduling the horse shows to be held during the 2012 competition season, discussing preliminary plans for the July UHJA show and Medal Finals and reviewing plans for the Junior Show Committee, Sponsor Committee, Website, Directory and Banquet. Both meetings were very well attended by the board and also included several guests!

All UHJA members are invited to attend UHJA meetings which are generally held the second Wednesday of each month, 7:30pm in Buca di Beppo’s back dining room in Midvale (Fort Union). The exact dates can be checked on the UHJA website; the next meeting is scheduled for April 11. Any guest wishing to discuss a specific issue can text their request to the president which will result in placing the item on the agenda for discussion.

Thanks to all of the 2011 sponsors who contributed to the UHJA’s annual year end awards program. Hopefully, many of last year’s sponsors will renew and new sponsors will emerge to fund the prizes.

It’s not too early to sign up for UHJA membership. Signing up early ensures points from the upcoming shows will be counted properly from the first show on through the season.
