  • Every class offered herein, which is covered by the rules and specifications of the current MIHJA Rule Book, will be conducted and judged in accordance therewith.

    STABLING - Stabling is available.  Please call in advance for stalls (309) 738-7767 - Rachel, or e-mail secretary@mihja.org  so we can have your stalls ready for you.  There WILL be a $10/stall/day charge for cancelled stall reservations.  Stalls are $30/day or $65/Fri-Sun.  Shavings are available.

    NON-SHOWING HORSE - A horse that is brought to the show grounds, but does not compete in any classes must pay a $25 non-showing horse fee in addition to the stall fee (if applicable) for their use of the jumps, footing, and facility.

    ENTRY / CROSS ENTRY - Exhibitors are responsible for a knowledge of the Rules and Regulations governing the horse show and for their own errors and omissions.  If you are unfamiliar with MIHJA rules, please check with Rachel Rock Robinson or our steward Sandee Cochran regarding the specific rules governing the show and/or specific divisions prior to competing.

    ADDS / SCRATCHES - Adds and scratches can be done at any time.  No transaction fee will be assessed.  Full refunds are given for scratched classes.

    JUMP ORDER - Check in at the gate for a self-posted order.  Anyone not checked in will be posted at the end of the order.  Notify the gate if there are any tack changes or conflicts.

    CHAMPION AND RESERVE CHAMPION - To be awarded in hunter and jumper divisions only, based on their total points including the under saddle class.  Hunter ties are broken by the most points over fences.  Jumper ties will remain tied.

    NUMBER DEPOSIT - Each number will carry a $2 deposit.  Please keep the number in good condition and return it at the end of the show for a full refund.  You will only be charged the $2 fee once for each number kept.  Upon return visits, please write your number on your entry blank before submitting it to the show secretary.

    OFFICE FEE - A $15 office fee will be charged for every rider.  Anyone can pay a reduced entry fee of $10 by submitting a blank check made out to MiHJA by 7:00 pm Friday, the night before the show.  If the check is filled out, or if you pre-pay with an exact amount of cash, and the final amount of your bill is more than what you've given, and you don't pay the balance before you leave on Sunday, you will be charged the full office fee.

    SCHOOLING - Both outdoor show arenas will be available before and after the show for unlimited schooling.  The indoor arena (80' x 125') will be available at all times for unlimited schooling.  Ring 1 (100' x 230') will be available for schooling while the show is going on in Ring 2.  Ring 2 (170' x 180') will be available for schooling while the show is going on in Ring 1.

    BEDDING - Shavings are available by the bag (prices vary).

    PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR - In accordance with US Equestrian rules, all exhibitors are required to wear properly fitting protective headgear passing or surpassing current applicable ASTM / SEI standards with harness secured while riding anywhere on competition grounds.

    CONCESSION STAND - Huntermark Café is open and ready for your business!  Great food for reasonable prices!

    TACK SHOP - Huntermark Tack Shop is located on grounds next to the concession stand.  If you'd like to pre-order a specific item and have it ready at the show, email tackshop@HuntermarkFarm.com at least 2 weeks before the show.  If you'd like to browse the existing inventory or make a purchase before or after the show, just let Rachel know.

    SPECIAL REQUESTS - Please let us know if there's anything that can make your show experience better or easier.  We can be flexible as far as moving classes around or making any exception we can to accommodate you, as long as we have the agreement of the other exhibitors and stay within the MIHJA rules.
