Martinez Horsemen Association
"We'll see you There!"
Martinez Horsemen's Association
Founded in 1945, MHA is one of the oldest horsemen's groups in the County and the State. We were founded to promote good horsemanship, good friendship and community service, things we hold to still. Membership in MHA also gives you membership in the California State Horseman's Association- Region 5.
Our members tend to be a diverse group of horsemen and women, ranging from strictly trail riders to carriage drivers; from reining enthusiasts to English riders. Our oldest member is about 70- and our youngest about 10. We are proud that several of our youngest members are CSHA Royalty for 2008!
Each year at the end of July we hold a Charity Event for one of our favorite groups- Xenophon Therapeutic Riding Academy. The Battle of the Barns is held the last Saturday in July. It features ten teams competing in playday type games- all vying for the title " Best Barn in The Bay Area". For more information see the Battle of the Barns page.
