Earn awards for spending time in the saddle with your Gypsy or gypsy cross!
Time spent in the saddle is always time well spent... The CGHC wants to recognize and reward it's members for the hours they spend in the saddle whether is be riding down the trail, schooling in the arena, competing at local shows and events, participating in clinics, etc... As long as you are in the saddle, you are earning awards. For horses 3 years of age and younger, hours spent working on the ground may be logged. Throughout the year we will offer "Bonus Hour" opportunities where you will be able to earn double hours for certain activities such as attending organized trail rides, riding in a parade, riding in a clinic and many more so you will want to stay tuned to the CGHC Facebook Page for those opportunities!
