December 2011 - Congratulations Stephanie, Christopher, Christine & Cassidy on your 2011 year end SAHJA jumper and long stirrup championships!

Horse Shows

Chris at a schooling show. Horse shows are an excellent way for riders to set goals, monitor their progress, and reap the rewards of their hard work, and are great fun for everyone! In keeping with our philosophy, Black Bay Equestrian emphasizes sportsmanship, horsemanship, and a "good ride" for the horse and rider. We are pleased to be able attend many different shows of various levels throughout the year.

For novices who are just beginning their show career, there are schooling shows at Starr Vaughn Equestrian and Historic Nelson Ranch at least once per month. Schooling shows are low key and geared towards learning and showing in a more relaxed atmosphere. These SAHJA (Sacramento Area Hunter Jumper Association) schooling shows allow riders to accumulate points throughout the show season, with annual championship trophies and awards given in recognition of members earning the most points in their classes throughout the show year.
