April 17 - *** URGENT SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 18th ***

The schedule for Thursday, April 18th that was uploaded to the website at 5pm this evening contained a major error in the jumper ring. A corrected schedule was uploaded at 6:45pm. The correct schedule has the jumper ring starting with the 1.00m Jumpers and moving up, then setting for the 0.70m Jumpers and moving up. WE ARE NOT STARTING WITH THE 0.70M JUMPERS TOMORROW MORNING. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please tell everyone you know that has a jumper showing tomorrow.

Mar 7 - CEP Statement On New AHJA Show Approval Rules 

In a recent conversation with AHJA leadership, CEP has been informed of new show approval rules that have already taken effect in 2024. As a result, CEP is releasing the following statement:

​

"In a recent series of rule changes, the Arizona Hunter Jumper Association (AHJA) has decided to follow the Zone 8 geographic pointing area, which allow shows in California, as well as numerous other states in and around Zone 8, to count for points within AHJA. This means that if you show at an AHJA-approved show in any of the following states … Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas … you can accrue points towards AHJA year-end awards. While there is some type of multi-category system that AHJA says they'll implement, these new rules allow AHJA-approved shows in these twelve states to have their points count in Arizona.

 

CEP has always believed that the primary mission of a state organization like AHJA was to support the horses, owners, riders, trainers and horse shows within the state. By allowing horse shows outside of Arizona to become AHJA approved, even some that are on the same week as Arizona shows, this organization is disregarding the majority of its members who can’t or don’t show out of state, and the struggling horse shows that need the support and help from within the state to survive.

 

Moving forward, CEP cannot support AHJA under these new rules. Therefore, CEP will not offer the AHJA Medal classes, pay any AHJA per horse fees and offer to host the AHJA Championships or AHJA Medal Finals as it has done in the past. However, CEP feels that it owes the members who did join and do want points, even under the new rules, to earn them, so results from all CEP shows will still be sent to AHJA to be posted. Other AHJA-pointed shows are currently operating under similar circumstances, so CEP would simply be following in their footsteps.

 

Making decisions that only benefit a few is not what is best for the majority of the membership who live, work and want to show in Arizona. Approving shows outside of Arizona on the same dates of Arizona shows will only serve to make our local shows even weaker. If AHJA doesn’t like the Arizona shows, help to make them better, don’t just dismiss them to die and approve other shows out of state because a select few can afford to travel to California, or elsewhere … most exhibitors in Arizona cannot."

​

Please note that the AHJA Medal classes currently listed in the Scottsdale Spring Horse Shows prize list will not be held. Results of all classes will be forwarded to AHJA for posting. Exhibitors who are AHJA members and want their points for showing at the Scottsdale Spring Horse Shows should follow-up with AHJA to insure their placings are properly credited.

The two weeks in April will be USEF National 'A' rated hunters and Jumper Rating 2 with an expected $15,000+ Grand Prix at 1.30m / 1.35m and $2500 USHJA National Hunter Derby each week. A full slate of USHJA Outreach classes for hunters from Walk-Trot Poles up to 2'9" and jumpers at 0.70m up to 0.90m.

​

The October shows will start with the Arizona Fall Classic 1, upgraded from a four-day Regional 'B' rating in 2023 to a five-day National 'A' rating in 2024, and is scheduled to host the 2024 USHJA Zone 8 Outreach Festival Championships. The second week will see the five-day Arizona Fall Classic 2 with a National 'A' rating hosting the 2024 USHJA Zone 8 HOTY Championships, a $10,000+ Grand Prix at 1.30m+ and a USHJA National Hunter Derby.

​

The year ends with two weeks in November ... the first week will be the Arizona Season Finale, which will become a three day USHJA Outreach show, concentrating on the beginner and intermediate levels for hunters and jumpers. While the qualified horses and riders are in Las Vegas, this show will offer an affordable and low key alternative right here at home. Then the second week. Arizona Season Finale 2, will offer a full five day, USEF National 'A' rated show with Level 2 jumpers and a USHJA National Hunter Derby to close out the year.
