Q: I’m not sure how to complete my membership form: When is a member considered a professional?
A: MOHJO complies with and defers to the rules of USHJA and USEF. In doing so we are proud to offer the opportunity for both professional and non-professional members to show in MOHJO rated classes, with the possibility of receiving year end awards.
In order to make this distinction clear we follow the USEF description of what constitutes professional standing.
The USEF rules state that if you receive remuneration for riding or exercising horses then you are considered a professional. Additionally, USEF rules define professionals as those who receive remuneration for acting as an agent in the sale or training of horses or ponies. This can be seen in its entirety in the USEF rule book at Chapter 13, GR1306.4
