 2008 NEW MEMBER GUIDE

Welcome to the South Dakota Quarter Horse Youth Association.

 The South Dakota Quarter Horse Youth Association (SDQHYA) is an association made up of young Quarter Horse enthusiasts with ages of youth through and including 18 years. It has established its own organization and is run by officers and directors elected within the SDQHYA membership with advisement from the SDQHA Board of Directors and an appointed Youth Advisor.  The 2008 SDQHYA Youth Advisor is Tiffany Lesmeister and Co-Advisor is Linda Johnson.

 Here’s a “Quick Reference Guide” to get you started in the SDQHYA.

 **As with all associations, there are bylaws and policies to become familiar with, please read through these carefully.  Changes for the 2008 year will be underlined. These will be given out at the first meeting at Sioux Falls Show in April if you are unable to attend you need to ask that they be sent to you. They are also posted on line at www.sdqhya.com.

**You will need to pay for a yearly youth membership.  Your showing points will not begin to count towards year-end awards or Team competition until dues are paid.  Please remember that any person(s) on the registration papers must have a membership in the SDQHYA.  If  your horse is owned by a parent or another adult person as applicable to the AQHA rules they will need a membership with SDQHA.

 **You need to collect your sponsorships; these are $25.00 each and help fund our year-end awards and association expenses.  These sponsorships need to be mailed Stephanie Johnson, SDQHYA Treasurer, 19176 Prairie Hills Road, Belle Fourche, SD 57717 post marked on or before April 1st.  If you are a new member joining after April 1st, these sponsorships are required within 14 days of your joining.  Please see Bylaws/Policy Sheet for further explanation.

**Be sure to read the Youth news in The Wrangler, a publication you will now receive bimonthly as a member of SDQHYA.  If your parents are not members you need to include $6.00 for the subscription with your dues.

**Ask Tiffany or Linda  if you have any questions filling out the member profile sheet, this will also cover many of the requirements and responsibilities of being a member of SDQHYA.    We will be using this sheet throughout the year to make sure you are meeting all requirements. Please return this with your membership form.

 **Your SDQHYA Board of Directors for 2008 is as follows.  Don’t hesitate to contact them with any of your questions.
