President's Message
The Quad City All Breed Horse Assn. started approximately 40 years ago, to provide a place for the less popular breeds to show locally. There were plenty of Quarter Horse classes everywhere, but not many places to show an Arab, Morgan or Paso. After much talk around the kitchen table our founding fathers decided to start a club with a show bill that had a different twist. As time went on the club has grown and the Show bill has been adjusted again and again to reflect the interests of the membership. Always with the express purpose to be fair to All Breeds of horses.
The horse kingdom is a very diverse and widespread industry. The QCABHA is unique because we work at accommodating all breeds and any discipline within our membership interests. Our diversity is our attraction. There is always something to learn and enjoy. We have a wide and varied array of members with different and distinctive interests and experiences ~ there is always a story worth listening to.
The QCABHA is a place for horse owners to show others the great conviction we have for our equine charges ~ the many fun things you can do with them and the many goals you can strive to achieve. Just think what a joy it is: to ride a nature trail on a well trained horse...a 4th level dressage horse in good form.... a great cutting or roping horse... to drive a bomb proof buggy horse... or a six up hitch of draft horses... the list can go on and on.
What does our club have to offer? Diversity ~ experience ~ knowledge ~ a place to start ~ warm friendly people, willing to give information and point you in the right direction ~ a growing youth program ~ an informative newsletter ~ competition ~ companionship and a great horsey social outlet.
Please look us over and ask questions.
If your interest is horses, the QCABHA welcomes you.
