ECHSA membership began with our December 28, 2005 show.  Membership is not just for the local area, but for anyone interested in competing in horse shows.  You do not need to be a member to show at one of our shows!

 

We have a wonderful group of members.  We have listened to their suggestions and critiques and as a result our shows have grown while retaining the supportive and competitive fun in local horse shows.   This is echoed from vendors and judges about how great it is to see competitors being supportive of each other.  

 

From time to time the ECHSA offers theme based shows, which includes awarding holiday and seasonal gift bags to division champions along with awards, trophies and ribbons.   ECHSA sponsors may also have a theme based show or trophy to promote their business.

 

Our shows are Virginia Horse Show Association (VHSA) Associate Rated and we abide by their rules and regulations.  The VHSA "Associate" Program provides a vehicle for regional and local Hunter/Jumper horse shows and their exhibitors to participate in a VHSA Year-end Awards Program and a year-end Championship Horse Show (VHSA Associate Championship Horse Show).
