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.

Day 4 of Convention Recap! Today was our professional development day with multiple amazing speakers! We started off the day with talking over DISC which shows us what letter we are based off of our behaviors! Next, we had two panels with industry professionals being first then a grad school panel! Later in the night, we also hosted our awards banquet with all of our different awards and swear in our new officers! A huge thank goes out to Dr. Erica Macon and @tamu_horsemens for hosting this year! We had an amazing time visiting TAMU!
