📷 Our official show photographer, Victoria DeMore Photography, has a great deal going on right now through the end of the weekend you might not want to miss out on! Whether you're showing this coming show next week or plan to show with us throughout the year, or want to gift it to a friend, you can pre-purchase their great package deal for an outstanding price and for this weekend only you'll get upgraded to Gold+ for the price of Gold! Don't miss it! >>>

Victoria and her team covers all rings all days of our CFHJA shows. No need to sign up. Photos conveniently available to view and purchase online following the show. Fair & friendly. Check them out on social media: Victoria DeMore Photography.⚠️ We don't often do SALES >>> So you want to check this out! 👇

📷🏇 For our HORSE SHOW patrons, you all know the VDP Pre-Show Gold Client Program is the BEST deal on your show memories. And this past year we rolled out the Gold+ option where you get ALL your memories in HIGH-resolution and a larger discount on additional purchases... well just for now through the end of the weekend, we're offering a FREE UPGRADE to GOLD+ if your purchase Gold.

😎 High res for low res prices. The freedom to print whatever you like however large you like. Save $$$ - This weekend only.

🤓 WHAT: From 11/29 to 12/1 - purchase Gold and get automatically updated to Gold+. Usable on any 2025 show dates (including CFHJA Dec 2024). Just choose the regular Gold Client option during this time, pay the invoice sent to you, and you’ll be upgraded for free to Gold+! If you don’t know what show you’d like to use it for, just use the placeholder and we’ll stay in touch to remind you to use it, like a Gift Certificate. You must fill out the form & send it and pay the invoice you you receive by the end of the day Sunday, December 1st.
*Sale only applies to whatever you purchase during the sale - e.g. if you add a horse with the same rider after the sale, that additional horse will be booked at the regular rate for Gold or Gold+, whichever the client chooses.

🤩 WHERE & HOW: So head over to the VDP Pre-Show Gold Client Program website. If you know what show you want to use it for, great! If not, that's ok, too, we have a placeholder in there just after the CFHJA December 2024 Show in the list. Fill out the form the way you would for any show, but be sure to just select GOLD client. We'll automatically upgrade you to Gold+ and only invoice you for Gold. If you're unsure of the horse(s) you're enrolling, that's fine, too, but at least tell us the rider and number of horses with THAT specific rider. One rider per form. Invoice we email you must be paid by the end of the weekend.

Testimonials

What Members Say

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.

    Victoria DeMore Heil

    Photographer

    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!

      Clair Kellner

      Trainer

      My clients look forward to attending CFHJA horse shows. The shows are fun and offer a variety of classes for all levels.

        Jamie Gibson

        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!
