We do follow a number of rules, please be aware of them (the Judges are).

NHCA 2008 Rulebook

Most of our approved Judges are also approved 4-H Horse Show Judges.

If you are a 4-H club, saddle club, or even just a group of like minded persons wanting to put on a horse show we would like to help. We can assist with planning, advertisement, and contestants. As a group we are always looking for new places to show and friends to meet.
