MEMBERSHIPS AND ELIMINATION OF RIDER CARDS

Effective 11/1/22 RMHA is eliminating rider cards in an effort to make it easier for members, competitions and staff. 

Rider cards and memberships with different effective dates and fees have been a cause for confusion over the years so the Board voted to offer membership levels (not the categories of memberships which are in the bylaws) to include the participation fee for members who participate in programs/year end awards. 

This will eliminate the need for members to fill out more than one form, to keep track of more than one effective date and to pay separate fees. 

Two levels will be offered, either Supporting Member or Participating Member.  Below are the details:

Proposed Levels to be effective 11/1/2022

1.     Supporting Member: This member has access to the member portal, voting rights (exception-youth), access to member benefits and can make transactions with the association at member rates.

a.                    Single: $55

b.                   Single 3-year: $110

c.                    Single Lifetime: $415

d.                   Junior: $30

e.                    Family: $90

f.                     Family 3-year: $215

g.                   Family Lifetime: $765

h.                   International Single: $100

i.                     International 3-year: $245

2.     Participating Member: This member has access to the above AND may use their membership to participate in any and/or all of the programs such as: Show, Trail, and Versatility

a.                    Single: $75

b.                   Single 3-year: $170

c.                    Single Lifetime: $515

d.                   Junior: $50

g.                   Family Lifetime: $965

h.                   International Single: $120

i.                     International 3-year: $305

3. Individuals who currently have lifetime memberships will pay the following to upgrade to include participation eligibility. Invoices will be sent from the office to these members to choose which option they prefer:

a.  Single Lifetime: $100 (one time fee) OR $20/year

b.  Family Lifetime: $200 (one time fee) OR $30/year

 4. If a member has already renewed their yearly membership before 11/1/2022, they will

be able to upgrade the membership by paying the difference.

CHANGES TO BREEDING CERTIFICATES

In an effort to simplify the process for breeders and those registering horses, we have combined the Breeding Certificate and Registration form into a fillable form that can be filled out and printed and/or emailed, faxed, scanned. We will still accept the three-ply copies of the Breeding certificate but will not send them out after January 1. To see and use the new form, go to
