June 15, 2020

After much review and extensive consideration, the South West THJA and the South West Trillium Show Managers have made the decision to cancel all South West Trillium shows for 2020.

We love our Zone and our Horse Show Community and this decision was not made lightly.  We feel that this is the most responsible decision to protect the health and well being of all our members.

The THJA is planning some webinars and other fun and informative activities to help keep us learning and our skills sharp throughout the pandemic.

We will also continue to create the Judging Clinic videos, so please feel free to submit your rounds!  You can even make new videos at home with a few of your friends and we will have them judged.

We value and cherish our members.  We hope you take this year to relax, reflect and spend time with your families - something that we often don't have time for.   

This is a great time to deepen the relationship with your horses, and to develop and improve your skills in preparation for the 2021 Show Season.

We wish you and your families the very best.  Please feel free to reach out to us with any thoughts or questions.  We also welcome any suggestions for any virtual activities.

Wishing you all well,

Rachel Baresich and Sarah Firth

At the THJA we are well aware of the issues facing our membership at this time and both our Executive Committee and our ad hoc COVID19 Committee have been meeting weekly to update the association on each zone’s unique situation. Discussion is ongoing as the situation is fluid and continues to change quickly. While we are bound by Equestrian Canada’s decisions related to the sanctioning timelines, we are actively planning for what might look like a substantially different show season on the other side of this. Each zone will face its own challenges, and what works in one zone may not work in another. We are cognizant of this and will continue to work very closely with the zones to develop plans for the future as we are able to.

​

Please feel free to reach out if you have any comments, concerns, thoughts and suggestions.  We will be sending updates as and when we have them.

Deadline is February 15, 2020

The South West Show Guide is the go-to-guide for parents, competitors and coaches throughout the season.  A great way to get your message out there.  The ad will be seen repeatedly throughout the season.  Sponsor a class or division to get web exposure on our website!! 

January 19, 2020

Please join us for our Annual General Meeting on Sunday, January 19, 2020 at the Best Western Stoneridge Inn.  Meeting begins at 2:00 pm.

October 19 & 20, 2019

Please join the South West Trillium Hunter Jumper Association for a two day clinic with Hunter and Equitation specialist Darcy Hayes.

Darcy's own competition record speaks for itself with numerous wins and top placings at A rated shows including The Royal Winter Fair and the Canadian Hunter Derby Series.
