As you know, it is stated in the CHSA Rule Book that the Quarter Horse Hunter Under Saddle classes are open to horses registered with the American Quarter Horse Association and are to be shown under their full registered names with papers available for examination at anytime.

Would you please submit a copy of your horse’s AQHA registration papers for the CHSA files by August 9, 2007. 

These papers may be faxed to:

George Jensen, Membership Chairman at 203-272-0142

or mailed to him at:

For your convenience,  those of you who will be showing at Windcrest Farm or End of Hunt Farm this weekend, you may turn the copies of your papers in to me as I will be the steward at these shows.

We appreciate your cooperation.
