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 that time of year for meeting your 2023-2024 ACHA executive board!!!🤩

Last up for summer spotlights is our representative, Meghan! She has become an aunt, went boating, worked at a small animal vet, got to be a bridesmaid, and spent time with her horse, Joker! When writing a fun description of what she has done so far, she said “This summer, I had a brief visit in Montana to see my mom and scope out some future property! I also became an aunt to an amazing little nephew. I was able to go out on the boat and to the springs a few times on these brutally hot days here in South Georgia! I spent a lot of time working full time at the small animal vet her in Tifton as well. I got to be a bridesmaid at my dad’s wedding down in Parrish, FL. Most importantly and the best part of my summer was the time I spent at the barn with my horse, Joker!” Her future plans are to just work, spend time with Joker, and finishing up her summer classes!🐴
