Pony Eq over fences, Limit Eq over fences,& Jr/Adult Eq over fences will be medal classes. There will be no individual tests, as the tests will be those that involve jumping and will be seemless to the class. Need to learn more about what a medal class is? Please visit the USEF judges manual for Hunt Seat to learn a bit about what the judges are looking for.Here are the tests, 1-19, that may be used in a medal class.

San Jac Farm Information
After a couple requests and some searching on the internet, I have updated the Contacts Page to include links to websites of our hosting farms. I don't have all of them at this time as some farms just don't have websites yet. I'll be updating the website to contain a page of information for those farms that do not host their own site.Candids getting popular! Yes, I have FINALLY updated them.
In order to make my updates faster, here are some guidelines when submitting photos.- All files need to be in a JPG format
- Clearly identify who is in the photo
- Vertical oriented images should be around 206x282 pixels
- Horizontal oriented images should be around 304x228 pixels
I have received many updates to the candids page. As always, keep them coming! I may have to start making
pages for each of our barns, as I am getting a long scroll of photos on the candids page! For posting on the
SJHSA.ORG site, send the photos to me (Natalie). If you don't have them scanned,
you can always post mail them:
