As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, SNHSA is dedicated to promoting quality schooling and rated equestrian competitions, ensuring fair play, and fostering educational opportunities for riders of all levels.

Advocating for Horses and Exhibitors

Promoting Quality Competitions

One of SNHSA’s primary objectives is to promote high-caliber equestrian competitions throughout Northern Nevada. By assigning dates to all recognized events, the association maintains a well-organized calendar, allowing riders to plan their competitive seasons effectively. These competitions culminate in year-end championship awards, recognizing the dedication and achievements of participants.

Educational Activities and Community Engagement

Beyond competitions, SNHSA is committed to providing educational activities and sponsoring special equestrian programs. These initiatives aim to enhance the skills and knowledge of riders, trainers, and enthusiasts, contributing to the overall growth of the equestrian community in the region.

Supporting Through Sponsorships and Donations

As a nonprofit, SNHSA relies on sponsorships, memberships, donations, and active participation within the local horse show community. These contributions are vital in sustaining the association’s efforts to offer enjoyable and healthy sporting opportunities. Supporters are encouraged to consider tax-deductible donations toward member education, year-end awards, sponsorships, or the Northern Nevada Horse and Fire Fund.

Local equestrian organizations like SNHSA are the backbone of the horse-riding community, providing structure, support, and opportunities for growth. By advocating for fair competition, promoting quality events, and offering educational programs, SNHSA ensures that the equestrian spirit thrives in Northern Nevada.
