Founded 1973
A non-profit, volunteer organization consisting of hundreds of members including farms, adult amateurs, professionals, juniors and people who have a love of horses.
Founded in 1973, it has always been the purpose of the VBHSA to promote sportsmanship and horsemanship; to conduct horse shows, clinics, forums, and other special events; to assign show dates and certify recognition of shows; to encourage participation in all VBHSA recognized shows and events by all VBHSA members who are in good standing; and to make adequate and fair rules governing competitions and to enforce them for the common benefit.
The VBHSA holds recognized Virginia Horse Show Association (VHSA) Associate rated shows each year. In addition to earning points for the VHSA, members points are also tracked for the VBHSA year-end awards. At the Year-End Awards Banquet, our members are presented trophies, awards, ribbons and prizes.
Thanks to our wonderful sponsors, we are able to hold an annual fund raising event, the VBHSA Cooler Show. Proceeds go toward prizes and awards to our competitors at the Cooler Show and our Year End Banquet.
All shows are VHSA Associate rated
