- $10 Individual Registration for the first four (4) animals
- $50 Barn/Stable Registration of five (5) or more animals

Please Note: Points will begin to accumulate only when the registration and membership fee is received by the Points Secretary.

RIHA is going green! In an effort to "go green", RIHA will not be mailing out rulebooks and will be reducing the number of other mailings. Please download the rulebook from this page and check this website frequently and join the RIHA Facebook group for information on the annual banquet, point standings, calendar changes, the annual meeting, RI Finals information, etc.

If you really need a printed copy of the rulebook, please print the following form, fill it out and mail it to the Points Secretary:
