Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!

Georgian Bay Executive Fall/Winter Newsletter

2024 was certainly a busy year! We hope our GB Trillium Members had an amazing summer of showing at the collaborated Central Zone Trillium Shows this summer and you all met or exceeded your showing goals.

For those that qualified for and attended the Trillium Championships at the lovely Wesley Clover Parks, we hope that it was all that you expected and, more importantly, that you had fun.

A few notifications:

• The Georgian Bay, Central East and South East Trillium Zones will be once again combining forces and running the collaborated Central Zone for 2025. Qualification for the Trillium Championships and Year End Awards have not changed from 2024.

• We have announced the show dates!! Prize Lists will be released in early 2025. Please check on the social medias or contact any of us for more information.

• THJA Memberships went on sale on November 14 and can be found at www.thja.ca. Get your memberships before the price increases on April 1, 2025.

A reminder that all riders and horse owners are required to have a Trillium Membership if they wish their show points to count towards both the Trillium Championships and the Year End Awards.

Please remember that the zone that you wish to collect points in is the zone membership that you should purchase. 😊

• Another gentle reminder that all riders and horse owners are also required to have both:

Equestrian Canada Memberships (either Bronze or Silver Sport Licenses depending on the division that you are showing in) (www.equestrian.ca) and

Ontario Equestrian Memberships (www.ontarioequestrian.ca) and

ALL horses showing Silver or Gold rated classes must have EC Horse Recording Numbers to be eligible to show and collect points.

Show managers have been advised by Equestrian Canada that Temporary Horse Registrations for 2025 will no longer be available and entries not meeting the sport license or horse recording will not be eligible for points and may incur fines.

Please get your memberships and horse recordings EARLY. 😊

• The 2025 Georgian Bay THJA Annual General Meeting will be held in early spring 2025 and more information will be released regarding this closer to the date.

The Georgian Bay THJA Executive Board would like to wish all of our GB Trillium Members and their families a safe and happy holiday. See you all in 2025!!
