The Leon County
Horsemen’s Association (LCHA) is a family
oriented club for horse lovers and equestrians of all
ages and disciplines. You do not have to own a horse
to be a member. Club activities include shows, workshops,
clinics, trail rides, work days and fun days.
Our Mission Statement:
The Leon County Horsemen’s Association is a non-profit
corporation dedicated to furthering the ideals of education,
sport and recreation for horses and riders.
LCHA
strongly supports the use of helmets on ALL riders in
ALL classes.
LCHA has been active
since November, 1961 and was incorporated on March 16,
1965. The purpose of LCHA is to function as an institute
of learning for horsemanship and equitation, to encourage
interest in equestrian activities of all types, to support
proficiency in horsemanship, and to provide entertainment
and amusement for its members and guests.
Membership
Benefits
The benefits to joining
the club are as much as you want to put into it. It
is a great local club to show your horse, attend clinics
and seminars, meet new horse friends, go on trail rides,
and share your skills and knowledge with others. One
of the favorite benefits of being part of LCHA is being
eligible for High Point Awards at the end of the show
year. The club works hard to provide great awards such
as: silver belt buckles; embroidered chairs, hay bags,
halters, trophies, saddle pads, and many more items.
