Earlier this year, MOHJO hosted a course design clinic at the NEC with Dean Battaglia, USEF/USHJA certified course designer.   As not all of our show managers were able to attend, we’re pleased to learn USHJA has posted course design basics on their website. The guidelines were developed for Outreach competions, which cover classes and heights that are so popular at our local MOHJO recognized shows.  We encourage all the show managers, local course designers and curious members to check out the information from USHJA, and we’ll try to highlight some interesting points on our social media.   Click this link to check it out!   USHJA Course Design Basics

Sample courses with suggested lines lengths can also be found at USHJA, in the Resources for Participating Shows section on this link:  USHJA sample courses

On Saturday morning, March 28, 2026, the MOHJO Horse Show Secretary mailbox was hacked.  A paperless post card email was blasted to our entire membership.  Please do not open the email, or the post card but delete it straight away, as it did not come from MOHJO and may be used to access your contact list.   We have reset the Show Secretary mailbox and all should be well going forward.
