Gymkhana

---

 It is with great sadness that the IHA Board of Directors has decided to cancel the 2020 show season along with all other previously scheduled events at this time (Awards Dinner Dance, Ride In’s, etc). After much discussion, this decision has been made for the safety and in best interest of the membership and volunteers. As a volunteer organization, we do not have the man power to enforce social distancing guidelines, infection control and safety protocols along with running a smooth show. Please keep in mind we utilize a Suffolk County facility therefore we are under strict rules as things begin to open up.

We are however going to keep an eye on the phases in which our governor has put forth. If at some point we can have small group gatherings we have ALL INTENTIONS of looking into hosting clinic(s) and Ride In’s on a smaller scale. Disciplines are also in talks of possibly doing a single show in the fall if allowed.

With that being said, we wanted to offer our members some sort of showing experience. Most disciplines will be offering a Virtual
Horse Show! There will be a small entry fee and this is for IHA members ONLY. Please keep looking back at the FB page and website for more details in the upcoming weeks.

The Board of Directors are still available for any questions, comments or concerns you may have.

We hope everyone understands as this has been a very difficult decision to make. We know so many of you look forward to our events as we do too!
Stay safe, be well & wash your hands!

❤️The IHA Board of Directors
