In the spirit of celebrating the accomplishments of our membership, we’ve established the following policy for including photographs for CHJA year end award winners and Zone 8 award winners on the CHJA website. To be included in any CHJA photo gallery, the rider/owner must be a member in good standing of CHJA and the horse must be registered with CHJA.

Submission Guidelines

Chronicle of the Horse

Champion photographs must be submitted by CHJA. Your photograph(s) that conform to COTH requirements must be received by the awards banquet, no exceptions.  

CHJA Website Requirements

Submit digital image(s) using this form: photo submission

Photographs that meet the following requirements will be accepted for the CHJA website:

  1. You can submit one photograph for each division placing.  Preferably the photograph is from the division for which you won the award, but if that isn’t possible, it should be representative of the division.  For example, if your horse won a championship in a hunter division, you were 3rd in an equitation division, you may submit two different photographs, one for each award. The championship photograph will appear in the Gallery of Champions on the front page, and  both photographs will appear in the awards gallery on the Awards page.
  2. You must have permission to publish the photograph on the website. If your photograph was done by a professional photographer, contact them to make sure you can use the photograph this way. Your photographer may wish to submit the electronic version of your photograph for you.
  3. Preferably the submitted photograph is the original digital image in .jpg or .png format. If you only have a printed copy of the photograph, scan it in using the highest possible resolution settings and save it as a .jpg.  Do not compress or resize the photograph for the internet – that will be taken care of for you.
  4. For each photograph include the name, owner and horse including CHJA#s. Only submissions that can be verified to be for members in good standing and match the awards records will be published.
