RIHA members who wish to accumulate points for Year-End Awards must register their horse or pony with the Point Secretary.
(Please list names of horses or ponies you are registering on back of application.)
Please Note: Points will begin to accumulate only when your membership fee is received by the Point Secretary.
o At this time, I do not wish to register for points.
RIHA members who wish to accumulate points for Year-End Awards must register their horse or pony with the secretary. It is REQUIRED for points to
count. If your mount changes during the year, you must inform the secretary. There is a $10 fee to register horses and ponies. Owners of 5 or more animals
pay $50 (i.e., unlimited number of animals).
Even though Lifetime members do not have to apply each year for membership, they MUST register their horses/ponies each year in order for points to count.
Please fill out reverse and sign your application.
