🥳It has been a heck of a year with our CFHJA family. The 2025 Year End Banquet Photos are now up and available - use the link at the bottom of this post. I want to take a moment to be sappy and thankful and reflective 🥹
I'm so proud to have such amazing teams, both with Victoria DeMore Photography and with CFHJA, and I feel so fortunate to have the best people around me to learn from, laugh and cry with, and grow alongside 🫶
For those who didn't know, around this time last year I became a member of the CFHJA board, and while brand new to that area of things also stepped into the role of 🗣️ Corresponding Secretary 🤓 which has included social media management, e-mail marketing, and just general trying to be a good ambassador. It's a role I love as it blends a lot of my passions and experience into being a part of the horse show on a level I never imagined.
💛🙏Thank you to the fantastic people who have made these adventures possible. I hope 2026 brings us more ups, less downs, and more opportunities for success - both in our personal and professional lives. We might be missing a few from these photos - most notably Gabi from my Victoria DeMore Photography team wasn't feeling great and we missed her tremendously - but know I appreciate you all.
And to our customer and friends, thank YOU for a great year. I hope next year you can help us spread the word, get more people to CFHJA shows, let's not hog all the fun and good stuff ahead! Sharing is caring 🥰 Please engage with us on social media, share posts with friends, comment, like, it all helps visibility.
And from my other hat 📷 I'm most grateful for your support of Victoria DeMore Photography. My team loves following along your progress every show and we're blessed to be able to document it. Please enjoy your banquet photos, they're on us as our thank you for sharing your year with us 💛
Without making this post any longer because those who know me absolutely know that I can and will - please use the link below to access the banquet galleries:

Love you all! Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and come see us in 2026!

CFHJA has always meant friends and peers coming together to compete. The special classes offered are a fun break from the norm. The association is always coming up with fun ways to engage members - like karaoke and bingo during exhibitor parties!
Trainer
My clients look forward to attending CFHJA horse shows. The shows are fun and offer a variety of classes for all levels.
Trainer
To me, CFHJA feels like an extended family. My daughter has grown up at these shows from the walk trot throughout her junior career. The support and encouragement from other members for all those years is extraordinary. I am really proud to be a part of the wonderful group of very talented equestrians representing CFHJA!

Official CFHJA Photographer
Victoria DeMore Photography
Work together with premier Central Florida-based equestrian photographer, Victoria DeMore Heil, to create images you can feel, not just see. Available for equine & non-equine families, seniors, weddings, sales & branding, and more.
I’m so glad an organization like CFHJA exists for everyone, but especially for the kids who get to grow up riding in such a positive, nurturing environment. It is a great network of trainers but more than that, it's a great family. People care about one another and are always helpful because together we create a better situation for our horses, riders and community at large.
