2 OHJA MEDAL FINALS PROGRAM September 2021Welcome to the OHJA’s 2021 Medal FinalsThe OHJA-Gallops medal nals will be held at the Oregon Summer Classic horse show in late August. Riders qualied by earning sufcient points in qualifying OHJA medal classes throughout the show year. During Medal Finals riders are tested on their horsemanship knowledge and riding ability. Phase One of Medal Finals is a written test on horsemanship worth 10 points. Phase Two of the nals is a riding round worth a maximum of 100 points. The written test score is combined with the rider’s rst round score; the top ten scores in each division will advance to the Final Round. Please join us during and after the Final Round on August 28th for the OHJA BBQ and Fundraiser, generously sponsored by Swan Training. Tickets for the BBQ are $20 and can be purchased in the show ofce or at the BBQ. All proceeds benet the OHJA, a non-prot organization. Please check with the show ofce and OHJA’s social media accounts for the BBQ’s start time. The Oregon Hunter Jumper Association takes this opportunity to thank its sponsors, including the medal nals’ title sponsor Gallops Saddlery. It is because of the sponsors’ continued support that the OHJA is able to continue its mission: to bring together the equestrian community, to promote horsemanship and sportsmanship, to encourage and promote public support of the equestrian community, and to enhance the knowledge of equestrian competition On behalf of the OHJA Board of Directors, congratulations and best of luck to the 2021 medal nalists!Sincerely,Robin Rothe OHJA President

However, once entries close for the show holding the OHJA Medal Finals, OHJA, in consultation with show management, may invite up to 10 additional riders who have not accumulated 10 points, starting with the highest point earnersHow are OHJA Medal Classes Conducted?At least 3 riders must complete the course for the class to count toward the OHJA Medal Finals and for the medal to be awarded. Riders in the Mini Medal classes compete over fences not to exceed 2’6”, riders in the Children’s and Adult Amateur Medal classes compete over fences not to exceed 3’, and riders in the Junior/Senior Medal classes compete over fences 3’6” in height. There must be a “ride-off” in each medal class between at least the top 2 riders, with 4 recommended.How do Riders Accumulate Medal Points?Points are accumulated based upon a rider’s placing in qual-ifying classes. Ten points are awarded for 1st place, 6 points for 2nd place, 4 points for 3rd place, 3 points for 4th place, and 2 points for 5th place. Riders who win Mini Medal and Children’s Medal qualifying classes may continue to com-pete until they accumulate 25 points, and riders who win Adult Amateur and Junior/Senior Medal classes may con-tinue to compete until the Medal Finals.Who is Eligible to Competein OHJA Medal Finals?To qualify for the OHJA Medal Finals, a rider must accu-mulate at least 10 points during the show season.

Scores from the 1st round and written test are combined to determine the top 10 nalists, who then compete in a 2nd round of testing called a“ride off”. In the Children’s, Adult Amateur, and Junior/Senior Medal Finals, the “ride off” is over fences. However, in the Mini Medal Finals, the “ride-off” cannot include testing over fences; it must be on the at or the judge may ask the riders horsemanship questions. Prizes are awarded through 10th place, entries permitting.MEDAL FINALS FAQsSterling-Essentials.com
