The MOHJO Rule book contains all the important details of how we run the association, and describes the requirements for the Year End Awards. The Rule book generally follows the governing practices of our national bodies, but since there are some specific divisions and age groups that are not defined by USHJA, it's a good idea to be familiar with the MOHJO rules.
In addition, show managers should use the Rule book as the guide to determining which classes to offer that will provide MOHJO points for the competitors, and name classes accordingly.

New in 2025
• We are expanding the heights of Baby Green to include both 2'3" and 2'6". We will count Future Hunter classes run at 2'3" in the points for the 2'3" section of Baby Green. In addition, eligibility expands to 2 years, one at each height.
• We will also expand eligibility in the Green Pony to 2 years, following the USEF/USHJA rule change.
• We are dropping "MOHJO" from the name of the 2'6" Equitation; this will expand participation and eligibility, we believe, since the 2'6" Equitation is offered at many rated shows, but without MOHJO in the name. Any participants in the MOHJO Equitation at the December PrimeTime shows will still receive their points toward year end in the renamed division.
• We are changing the name of the Junior/Amateur Owner Jumper division to Junior/Amateur, again, to follow the change made at the national level.
• Due to lack of participation, we are putting notice on the MOHJO Medal and Novice Rider Hunter divisions, and will pull them from the Year end prize list after this year if the numbers don't increase.
• As the pool of Masters Rider Hunters has also shrunk, we are going to roll the Masters Hunters into the Long Stirrup, with the option to split by age group as numbers warrant.
