Enroll in the UPHA Ribbons of Service Program
Now saddle seat equitation riders can ride with a new reason in mind: raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the rider’s selected charity. "It’s a shared-commitment program that encourages riders to show an American Saddlebred, Arabian (including Half-Arabian), Morgan or National Show Horse in saddle seat equitation competitions, and encourages donors to pledge funds for charity for each class in which the rider shows. The rider is not only responsible for raising the donations, but for performing community service as part of his or her own contribution to the effort," said UPHA President Jim Taylor. This UPHA program is designed to encourage, challenge, and reward equitation riders who participate in horse show competitions in order to raise funds for a charitable organization that helps those less fortunate. Saddle seat equitation riders may enroll in the program by submitting a UPHA Ribbons Of Service Application, setting a goal, and developing a plan for raising funds for an approved charitable organization. When UPHA receives your application, you’ll be mailed an approval letter and a package of information. For more information, visit the UPHA Website, www.uphaonline.com.


Remember to get your three-year-olds nominated for the Classics by April 1st.
We need Morgan and Pony Classics sponsorships for our horse show. All of the Saddlebred Classics are currently sponsored. Please let us know if you can help. Please e-mail Chuck Walker if you are interested in sponsoring a UPHA Classic qualifier.

Finally, PLEASE encourage others to attend our horse show. We must continue to work hard to build our attendance. That also means for you to do your part, and bring your full show string. Please support our chapter!
