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.

IT’S CHAPTER SPOTLIGHT TIME!!!!
Our second chapter we’re spotlighting in November is Texas A&M University!!
They are located in College Station, Texas! Their chapter was established in 1976! As the Texas A&M Horsemen’s Association, they strive to make the Aggies of today, horsemen of tomorrow. They provide a place for members to meet other students that have the same interests when it comes to the equine industry, as well as network with industry professionals locally and within the surrounding areas! Events and philanthropy that they host is Horsemen’s Demo Day where they gave their members an opportunity to get some practical experience by inviting Savage Performance Horse & Therapy to do an equine massage and first aid demonstration in October 2022! In spring of 2022 and 2023, they decided to support the local equine community and host a spring barrel race! It was an amazing opportunity to meet barrel racers of all ages and have lots of fun and they hope to make it a regular event in the community! While CHA doesn’t have any riding teams, they strive to support and promote the fantastic riding teams at Texas A&M, which include polo, ranch horse, equestrian, IHSA, and the rodeo team!
We are super excited to see what Texas A&M has planned for this year!!
