The Mississippi Hunter Jumper Association (MHJA) is a non-profit educational organization which promotes national and international competition, and all phases of equestrian science, jumping, combined training, horsemanship, horse care and training.
The MHJA is the only organization in the state of Mississippi which sponsors and sanctions hunter/jumper competition. These shows meet certain standards which strive for fair competition, humane treatment of horses and a sportsmanlike attitude among exhibitors.
The MHJA also sanctions shows sponsored by its members and other USEF affiliated organizations. Points are awarded for prizes won and year-end championships and the accompanying prizes are valued by MHJA members. The MHJA is registered with the IRS as a 501 C(3) organization and its purposes are entirely educational, promotional and charitable.

**Special Note**
In the past, MHJA has required the horse to be registered in order to be eligible for points and year end awards. We no longer require horse registration. As always, in order to receive MHJA points, the rider and owner must be members at the time of competition. To be eligible for Year End Awards, the horse (Hunters & Jumpers) or the rider (Equitation) must have competed at one MHJA sponsored horse show.
There are three (3) classes of membership in the Mississippi Hunter Jumper Association:
Life Membership: Upon completion of application and payment of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) dues, an individual may become a lifetime member of the Association and shall be exempt from annual dues.
Individual Membership: Upon completion of application and payment of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) dues, an individual may become a member of the Association for one year, renewal be as long as the dues are paid.
Family Membership: Upon completion of application and payment of Thirty-Five Dollars ($35.00) annual dues, family groups may enjoy all rights and privileges of individual members. Family memberships shall cover and be confined to spouses or parents (or legal guardians) and children of a family group. A family membership is entitled to a maximum of three (3) votes at all general membership meetings. An additional family member may obtain independent status upon completion of application and payment of annual dues of one-half (1/2) the cost of the family membership. The application card for a family membership must identify the three (3) voting members.
