Membership
There
are many enjoyable as well as educational functions that take place on a
regular basis. We have Clinics to help improve your horsemanship, Poker
Rides to improve your enjoyment of your horse and fellow club members.
There also many Trail Rides varying from a day ride to overnight
camping.
Our horse shows are a great way to tune your horse up and improve your
showmanship. Many families make the horse shows a family affair with
all participating, particularly the junior riders.
Our yearly Crab Feed and our December Holiday Party are just two of the fun get-togethers. Being an all volunteer club, we have many committees to choose from to
help keep the club a viable resource to the Napa Valley community. All
members are expected to serve on at least one committee during the year,
although many members volunteer on more than one committee or project.
You can't have too much fun!
