Horses are our passion. Without them we would maybe have a lot of time and money to do something else, but most of us have already made the choice...love 'em and can't leave 'em. And there is one thing we have found out along the way...you can't do it all by yourself.

 
NNMHA Mission Statement
The purpose of NNMHA is to promote better horse husbandry, knowledge of training and other aspects associated with any form of horse competition, including but not limited to:
  • Encouraging educational programs that foster the study of horsemanship
  • Promoting pleasure riding
  • Conducting or contributing to clinics in horsemanship, as well as the many different forms of horse competition
  • Distributing information pertaining to riding and understanding the horse to members, riders, instructors and friends
  • Maintaining proper records in connection with the sport for the benefit of the members and offering awards for achievement to participants and members.

Upcoming NNMHA Events

October 27 – AERC rider Kathy Myers of Santa Fe will speak about her first-time experience competing in the 100 mile Tevis Cup endurance race on July 24 of this year – what it took to get ready, strategies, stories… Usually only 20% of first-timers actually finish and Kathy finished 80th out of 181 starters. Should be a very interesting tale.

November 17 (one week earlier because of Thanksgiving) – "Crime Prevention and Coverage" - This meeting follows in response to the concerns that have been raised recently about theft of horse related possessions, trailers, tack – and even our horses themselves. This meeting will have a two-pronged approach. We'll hear from a crime prevention specialist from the Santa Fe sheriff's office who will speak about the best ways to protect ourselves, our horses & livestock, our property and our possessions. What steps and measures can we take to best prevent these crimes from happening in the first place? If a crime does occur, what are the very best steps to take when reporting and following up? To dovetail with this, Garrett Seawright, of State Farm Insurance, will tell us about the best ways for horse owners, ranch owners and boarding facilities to choose coverage. There are specialized riders (no pun intended!) that are incredibly affordable to help us be protected in the event of a theft. Let's be prepared!


 

History of NNMHA
Over 60 years ago a group of horse lovers got together to form an association now known as Northern New Mexico Horsemen's Association. Thanks to the vision and dedicated hard work by a core group of really terrific folks, the facility off Rodeo Road in Santa Fe is available for a wide range of Association activities. Every year the Association members have put on shows, led trail rides, given out scholarships, held clinics and play days.

There are about as many ways to participate in NNMHA as you might imagine. By volunteering 2-3 days a year at the Association activities (and/or taking part in them) you get to make new friends, learn something new that will help you with your horse, get to show off your pride and joy in the show arena, and even...ride off into the sunset on one of our sponsored trail rides.
 
Everyone is welcome at NNMHA meetings or activities, member or not. It's a great group to be part of.
