ALL JUNIOR AMBASSADORS MUST FILL OUT A NEW ENTRY FORM EVERY YEAR! Either online or paper entry form.
The Junior Ambassador committee assumes that the Junior Ambassador is likely being compensated for their time via payment, riding lessons, money off their board or lease, etc. and therefore feel a single point per window is ample.
Yes, please provide trackers, interviews, and any documents that provide accountability for the points they have earned. No documentation provided will result in no points given.
We observed our Junior Ambassadors in 2025, we have the kindest kids out there! We are super proud of that and so many did not even ask for the points. We have layered in other ways to earn points instead.
Fiction and non fiction books are welcome but must be Equine related.
No, they are welcome to submit any essays regarding their experience or the essay they are required to submit to be considered for the title for points.
Yes! Those are professional story tellers. We are sure they would love to share that lifetime of knowledge.
Points may start from the date you renew, or the date you join the OHC. (January 1st if renewed by December 31st)
Yes, but the essay will need to be at least 2 pages long and include health issues, health care, hoof care, and an adventure or two is always welcome. Print or type is welcome.
Yes! Some of our older Junior Ambassadors are assisting us with some fun ways for the younger Junior Ambassadors to earn points. Details to come.
You get 1 point per show. You will need to submit the show bill with the show secretary or office manager’s signature for the point.
Saddle sore is miles you are sitting in the saddle or in a cart/carriage. Please keep in mind this does not include shows, lessons, or parades. You will get points for those things already. 25 miles = 5 points (tracker must be submitted to receive points)
Get grounded is the hours you spend with your horse. Lunging, brushing, showmanship, and hand walking. Time your horse is in your hands and your feet are on the ground. Please keep in mind this does not include time cleaning after them, holding for vet and farrier or shows, lessons or parades. You will get points for the vet/farrier in the form of a health record you can keep throughout the year. You will get points for shows, lessons, and parades as well. 25 hours = 5 points (tracker must be submitted to receive points)
No, the health record is to be filled out in full and turned in at the end of the year for 5 points.
1 per Junior Ambassador.
No, these are once and done points.
No, these are recognized through the 4H program.
We will not be recognizing breed registries or barn clubs. Must be equine related program (if you are wondering reach out, we will be happy to give you an answer.) Clubs like 4H, YEDA OAATS, CMSA NBHA, pony club, northern Ohio dressage Associate, etc.
The committee views work as paid time, which is different from volunteer time.
This is once a year to keep it fair for all Junior Ambassadors. Some schools are on semesters, some are on trimester and some are on quarters. Please submit their final report card of current year (May/June usually).
You can take a screen shot of your app after each ride or if using a smart watch, take a picture of it then upload the photo.
YES! They can get points with the different activities for age 5 and under as well as any other activity you feel they can safely enjoy.
