Updates to Process for SPHO-NJ Membership Registration, Horse Nominations, and Fees
The Standardbred Pleasure Horse Organization of New Jersey is excited to share the new SPHONJ.org, which allows for a more modernized method for communication, memberships, horse nominations, and sponsorships. Going forward, all memberships, horse/exhibitor registration forms, and points submissions will be submitted and paid for online. Any paper forms that have been sent in already will be honored. Please review changes to each of the processes below.
Memberships
