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.
National Day of the Cowgirl.🐴
This day was founded by Durango Boots in 2021 and has been a way to celebrate the contributions and spirit of the cowgirl! This year, big strides were made by cowgirls. Perhaps most notably, Erin Taormino became the first woman to win the title of the World's Greatest Horseman. This is a huge accomplishment and we love seeing strong figures like Erin make such an impact on the equine industry.
As our national reach continues to grow, we'd like to highlight a scholarship opportunity presented by National Day of the Cowgirl and Durango Boots. At the link below, you can learn about the requirements and financial award.
