Our Mission

“Providing equestrians with quality, family-oriented amateur events, educational programs and recreational activities for all equine breeds and disciplines.”

CSHA was founded in 1942 for the purpose of fostering interest in all breeds of horses and forms of horsemanship throughout the State of California.

CSHA has designed a wide range of programs which offer participants opportunities for growth and enjoyment regardless of their type of riding, breed of horse or experience level.

CSHA implements its programs via its 18 geographic regions throughout the State of California. These Regions have elected officers and appointed program chairs who volunteer their time to develop their respective programs and who represent clubs and individuals that participate in various programs offered by the Association.

CSHA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

Royalty News:

Mary Homicz and Gracie Lewellen

Hello, I am Mary Homicz, Miss CSHA 2019. I am 16 years old and live in Junction City, California.
I am the first to hold all three CSHA Royalty titles for girls, Little Miss CSHA (7-10), Junior Miss CSHA (11-13) Miss CSHA (14-17). Boys can also participate in CSHA Royalty and run for Little CSHA Ambassador (7-10), Junior CSHA Ambassador (11 -13), Ambassador (14-17). CSHA has been a amazing learning experience for me! I have gotten to do a-lot of representing over the years, Queen Runs, Parades, helping present awards at shows and banquets, going to CSHA Day at the Races, Horse Expos and more.
The first event I represented as Miss CSHA 2019 is the 2018 CSHA Convention in November, In Jackson Ca. I gave the Royalty report at the board meeting.
In December I attended the CSHA Region 13 Christmas Party in Fortuna and Awards dinner and spoke about CSHA Royalty. Later the same day I went to the Redwood Empire Endurance Riders Christmas party in McKinleyville. Redwood Empire Endurance Riders are a CSHA affiliate club and I have been a member since I was 6. I spoke to the club about CSHA Royalty and have spoken to them many times over the years about CSHA programs like Endurance and Trail Riders Awards Program (TRAP).
In January I attended CSHA ‘s first Quarterly meetings of the year in Santa Nella and had lots of fun with my mini me, Little Miss CSHA 2019 Gracie Lewellen.
Next month I will tell about my experience at the CSHA State Parade I plan to participate in on TRAP Chairwoman Marie Grisham’s horse Buddy, I am very excited, I love riding in parades!

Outbreak-Alert.com is a great new website that will be invaluable for all horse owners.
It offers the most accurate and up-to-date equine information available.
They only use information from well-known respected sources, such as USDA/APHIS, state veterinarians and state departments of agriculture and confirm in writing, the case and specific details with the state veterinarian involved in writing the report.

Although there are no quarantine times, they use the following for each disease to determine when the threat has passed
and the alert can be removed from the site: 4 months for EHV and Influenza; 9 months for WNV, WEE/EEE, PHF and Rabies.

Go to: www.outbreak-alert.com and type in your zip code.

A map pops up with all the reports in your area. Check it out!
