Please remember that you need to update your Medical Armband Insert info each and every year...the Medical Arm Band insert is right here...just click away!
CATalyst Cat Rescue has many cats who are looking for new homes as perhaps barn cats or house cats! These cats are spayed/neutered and have had vaccines prior to being placed.
If you think you could give a wonderful cat a new and forever home, please contact CATalyst Cat Rescue.
At the beginning of the new season there is always a period of adjustment until everyone knows at what levels they can ride in the Regular division or must they ride in the Open division. Juniors (under 18 years of age as of Jan. 1st) can ride in whatever division they choose, but those of you who are Seniors (that is, 18 years of age or older as of Jan. 1), are now governed by the Participation Eligibility chart in your Omnibus. Please read it carefully. These are National rules, not Provincial ones and must be followed.
Sometime the errors are caught before show day and the riders changed to the correct division, but this isn't always the case. If you notice a mistake when the start times are posted, please make it known to the Secretary right away and hopefully it can be corrected.
BOTTOM LINE: It is the responsibility of the Rider to make sure that you are entered correctly.
When the events Secretaries are processing a couple of hundred entries, they sometimes miss things.
If you ride and pin in the incorrect division, you will not receive any points. It would be a shame to miss out on any of those hard-earned points, so if you are not sure where you should be, please contact Roseanne Corbett at roseanne.corbett@gmail.com and she will be happy to help you.
The OHTA has produced a short viedo that goes over the details of our XC Safety and Equitiation Award. If you would like to see it on You Tube, just click here!
The OHTA has compiled a list of coaches who are available to instruct our riders in Ontario. We have split the coach's database by area code...so please take a look at the appropriate page for your area.
The coach's database listings are offered only as a service to our members and they are not necessarily sanctioned or endorsed by the OHTA.
On the data base you will find:
- Contact information (phone numbers, e-mail address, website info and farm name)
- Equine Canada certification info (if any),
- Info about their facility (if they have an indoor arena, offer school horses, etc.)
- Info re: if they offer a cross country course
If you are a coach and would like to be added to our list, please contact Stephanie St Pierre: stpierre@interlynx.net
