Ride JCHA Awards Program

Participants must be current JCHA members in good standing and must maintain current JCHA club membership for the entire time they participate in the Ride JCHA riding awards program.  If JCHA club membership is not kept current, participant must resubmit an enrollment application and fee, hours are restarted at zero.

Ride a registered, grade, horse, mule or pony. Participants do not have to own the equine.

Time may be recorded for any activity in which you participate by riding. One bonus hour will be awarded when participating in JCHA club activities such as horse shows, gymkhanas, and parades.

Hours are accrued in the saddle and are based on the honor system. Hours are submitted to the “Ride JCHA” committee on the official “Ride JCHA” Log sheet at each recognition level. Hours achieved will be posted on the JCHA website.

You may earn double hours when riding on trails in national and state parks, grasslands, and historic areas. This will help keep our parks open to horse riding by using the trail systems.

Everyone goes at their own rate, depending on weather, time availability, etc. More hours doesn't mean you have a better horse, but you just have more time to ride.

Submit an enrollment application (click to open and download) and a one-time enrollment fee of $15.00 for adults, $7.50 for youth. Participants will receive an official Ride JCHA Program Patch and log sheet upon enrollment.

Once you are enrolled, additional log sheets can be downloaded by clicking here. This is an interactive log, so you can save it to your computer and fill it in as you ride!!
