2026 Show Update

We are exciting to start the 2026 show season. There is an update to our schedule. The VHSA introduced two new Pre-Novice Divisions. These divisions will replace CVSJA's Puddles Division. The VHSA specifications are below.

Pre-Novice Jumper.

Open to horses and ponies. Riders in this division may only cross enter into any class lower than 3' if otherwise eligible. Fence height shall not be lower than 2' or greater than 2'3" with spreads not greater than the fence height. Showing in this division does not break novice status. Associations may submit points for their jumper divisions that have the same specifications as VHSA Associate Jumper Divisions. However, shows must use the VHSA Division names on their result sheets.

Pre-Novice Children’s/Adult Amateur Jumper.

Open to children and adult amateurs. Riders in this division may only cross enter into any class lower than 3' if otherwise eligible. Fence height shall not be lower than 2' or greater than 2'3" with spreads not greater than the fence height. Showing in this division does not break novice status. Professionals may only ride unjudged rounds in this division. Associations may submit points for their jumper divisions that have the same specifications as VHSA Associate Jumper Divisions. However, shows must use the VHSA Division names on their result sheets.

**Pre-Novice Children’s/Adult Amateur Jumper and Pre-Novice Jumper classes may be run together, with separate points reported to the Associate Program.
