American Collegiate Horsemen’s Association (ACHA) unites collegiate horsemen of all levels and disciplines through the promotion of leadership, education, service and national affiliations. ACHA hosts a national convention each year to bring student and chapter members together to learn more about the horse industry and develop their leadership skills through tours, panel discussions and other networking opportunities. The organization also recognizes outstanding chapters and students through annual awards.
ACHA welcomes students from any four-year or two-year equine programs in the country. If you would like more information about the organization, the benefits of membership or how to start a local chapter, visit our Membership page for more information.

So thankful for my time serving these students ⭐️
We had an amazing final day of convention! A huge thank you goes out to Dr. Shea Porr and @murraystatecha for hosting convention this year! We are very thankful for all the speakers that came out and spoke with us today! All the topics that were spoke about were very informative! Later in the night, we got to award all our different awards, vote on where 2025 convention will be, and swear in our new officers! We can’t wait to see what they got planned for next year at Texas A&M!
