Our group formed in 1960 to provide area horse owners to meet and participate in a variety of horse-related activities while making new friends.  The club is involved in horse shows, fun days, trail rides, parades, ect.  These activities provide much enjoyment for all involved.  The club owns three acres of land (“the grounds”), which sport an announcer’s stand, pavilion, open space for camping and socializing and two outhouses.  Thanks to the generosity of local landowners, the club has permission to ride many beautiful trails.
