The benefits to joining the club are as much as you want to put into it. It is a great local club to show your horse, attend clinics and seminars, meet new horse friends, go on trail rides, and share your skills and knowledge with others. One of the favorite benefits of being part of LCHA is being eligible for High Point Awards at the end of the show year. The club works hard to provide great awards such as: silver belt buckles; embroidered chairs, coolers, haybags, halters; trophies, saddle pads, and many more items.

Prospective members must attend one meeting and fill out an application with a fee of $10. At the second meeting, the prospective member is voted in and must pay either an individual membership of $30 or family membership of $45. Members must be age 18 or over to join as an individual; underage applicants must join as a family. Members must contribute work time to the club in order to maintain membership in good standing (and be eligible for high point awards). Sportsman like conduct is expected at all times. Members competing for Awards must complete 12 hours of work during the show year and attend 2 work nights. Members may forego those requirements by paying an additional fee of $75.

Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month, except December.  The meetings are held in the Clubhouse located on the LCHA showgrounds, one mile west of Capital Circle on Highway 90 West.  Horseman Association Road is the immediate right past United Rentals.

Shows are held the first Saturday of each month with the following exceptions:  January – schooling show held mid-month; July – no show; and December – no show.  Judged classes include Halter, English, Hunter, Gaited, Trail, Western, Obedience, Reining, Pole bending, and Cloverleaf barrels.  Lead line classes are provided for children.
