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.
ACHA welcomes students from all four-year or two-year equine programs in the country. Membership benefits include access to a national network of equine industry professionals involved in Collegiate Horsemen’s, low-cost attendance at the national convention, and the opportunity to compete for annual awards.
Joining is easy and we welcome your school to join by going online to our website, collegiatehorsemen.org/ and selecting the Membership tab and selecting ‘Submit your club dues here’. However, if individual students are interested in this opportunity without having access to a chapter, they are more than welcome to join as individual members. In order to do so they would follow the directions above, but select ‘Submit your individual memberships here’ instead.
Club dues ($35 by Nov 1 and $50 thereafter) and individual student dues ($5 per member) should be submitted by November 1 of each academic year to receive the full benefits of membership. Clubs are welcome to use our national constitution to create their chapter constitutions in accordance with their local student organization guidelines.
Join today! We would love to have you as part of our family!
