About Us

The Club offers a variety of activities and a graduated series of divisions for riders of different levels of ability.

The purposes of the Club include the following:

• To increase recognition of the versatility of the horse

• To promote all horse breeds and other equestrian activities

• To promote good fellowship and sportsmanship among horse owners and friends

• To encourage and educate exhibitors, participants, members, sponsors, spectators and management, while acting in the interest of common good for all

• To affiliate with other organizations in striving for good horsemanship, whose purposes are altogether or in part similar to those of this club
