The Trillium Hunter Jumper Association hosts an annual championships horse show at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa, Ontario.

to August 31st.

Q: What do I need to collect points towards the Trillium Championship Show?
A: You must have a current THJA membership to collect points towards the Trillium Championship Show, OE membership and the corresponding EC membership (bronze or silver) to your division.

Q: I have a THJA membership, but I do not own my horse. Does the owner need a THJA membership too?
A: Yes. Both owners and riders must have THJA memberships to collect points towards Championship Show. The rider’s THJA membership must be in the zone they compete in, the owner’s THJA membership can be anywhere in the THJA.

Q: I forgot to get my THJA membership before the first show. I have it now though. Do my points count from the first show?
A: Points are not retroactive if memberships were not in place at the time of competition.

Q: Can I collect points on a Temporary Horse Registrations?
A: No. Competitors may not collect points on Temporary Horse Registrations.

Q: I was Reserve Champion at the last show, but another rider received more points towards Championship Show. Was there a mistake?
A: Points towards Championship Show and Zone Awards are calculated at each show based on the number of competitors in the class, a standard multiplier factor, and the placings 1st to 6th.  This is different than how points are calculated for Champion and Reserve Champion at individual horse shows.

Q: Where can I collect points?

Through the “Travel the THJA” program, you can collect points towards Trillium Championships qualification anywhere in Ontario at Trillium Shows.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Declare your home zone by purchasing a membership in the zone you wish to represent on the Trillium Championship Points system. 

TRILLIUM CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS:

The THJA will maintain a central points list that will reflect each member’s standing in the organization as a whole. 

Each zone will receive seven spots per division, but in the event that all spots do not fill the remaining spaces will be offered to the next highest ranked competitor based on the central points system regardless of their zone until all available spaces (up to 49) are filled.

Q: Can a rider show two different horses in two different zones?
A: Riders are permitted to show in more than one zone, but they must have a THJA membership for each zone in which they will be collecting points.
