Our membership grows with each show. The new members
begin accumulating points the day we receive their membership form. Their
points are added to the existing year-end standings.
The points are posted prior to the next show.
If you join ECHSA during a show day, your
points from that show will count toward your year-end points. If you
join between shows and showed at the last show, those points will also
count toward your year-end points. Points from previous shows will
not be included.
Any member who won
Champion or Reserve for a given division also earns an additional 10 or 6
points respectively. These bonus points are only displayed on the year-end
points.
Coggins in veterinarian terms is called Equine Infectious Anemia or EIA.
Since it is a viral disease, there is no vaccine and no known cure.
Horses can infect each other by standing close enough for a simple horsefly
to bite the infected one and then bite the next one. It is such a
serious concern the Commonwealth of Virginia passed a law about it. The
ECHSA prefers all horses be safe.
Some divisions tally for the horse and owner
points, some divisions, tally just for the rider. Apparently, the horse must belong to your
barn. If you are leasing that horse and indicated that on your
membership form when you joined, then you would be considered the "owner" as
per USET guidelines and your name would be listed as the owner. If you are not the owner or the lessee, then your
name would not appear.
