2024 Official Rule Changes

VHJA is proud to announce a 2-day clinic with  

Heritage Farm trainer Laena Romond 

April 20th and 21st 2024 at Middlebrook Farm in New Haven, VT 

**Registration may be completed without the required medical documents as long as they are provided prior to the clinic.**

Laena Romond taught one of VHJA’s first clinics and we are thrilled to welcome her back! Originally from Colchester, Vt., Laena grew up showing in equitation, junior hunters and junior jumpers under Fran Joe and Annie Dotoli at Ox Ridge Hunt Club. A graduate of Mount Holyoke College—where she graduated cum laude in biochemistry— Laena also competed on the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association circuit. As a freshman, she won the prestigious USEF/Cacchione Cup. She joined the Heritage Farm team in 2007 and has played an integral role with her natural riding talent and training knowledge. Among her competitive highlights are winning the 2021 $50,000 National Horse Show Hunter Classic with Catherine Cowie’s Traveller and the Tier II Championship with her own Uptown at the 2021 USHJA International Hunter Derby Championships.  


Riders will be grouped according to fence height (18” – 3’6”).  There will be 4-5 groups per day with 3-5 riders in each group. Groups will depend on who signs up, as well as their level of competition / experience.  Payment in full must be received with the application to reserve your spot.  Clinics are first come, first serve and will be accepted in order of receipt. Priority is given to riders able to participate in both days. Once the clinic/height groups have filled, participants will be put on a waitlist.  Applications close on April 1st. Payment is nonrefundable. If a rider cannot attend for any reason, they may sell their spot to another rider of a similar level. Riders will be notified of riding times April 8th.
