Purpose Statement: The Buchanan Westerners Riding Club Incorporated is a non-profit organization run solely by its

membership. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to the American Family through their love of horses. Our goal is to be able

to continue supporting programs involving Horseback Riding for Handicapped Children, High School Equestrian, and 4-H Youth

Activities.

Buchanan Westerners was founded in 1946 and boasts a membership of about 125 members. Our membership runs on a

calendar year. Buchanan Westerners does not focus on any particular breed, although we are approved through PAC. We hold 2

shows each month from May through September in addition to various clinics and fun show events. Our annual banquet is held

in the late fall and offers several High Point awards, including age divisions as well as pleasure and gaming. We offer one primary

fund raiser per year; a Tack Swap held in the fall and a variety of smaller fundraisers throughout the year.

We have a website; www.buchananwesterners.org where many of your questions may be answered. If you have questions and

wish to speak to someone, the board of directors are listed on the website as well. Please call one of the officers of the board or

the horse show manager for more detailed questions.

Monthly meetings for Buchanan Westerners are the second Thursday of each month at 7:30pm at the Buchanan Westerners

clubhouse.

New for this year Buchanan Westerners is offering a high point award for Novice exhibitors. We encourage those that are just

getting started in the walk/trot/canter classes youth or adult, to join in this division. We also offer a couple of Walk/Trot classes for

adults and children, which are restricted to Walk/Trot only. Exhibitors in both Novice and Walk/Trot are not eligible for other

L.M.H.A. was born. We are now entering our 16th show season, and, in looking back, we have become a very fun, organized and

competitive association. The goals of the association are to: promote interest in all breeds of horses; promote horse show activities;

encourage good sportsmanship an competition; have high ethical standards among exhibitors; and offer something to all members of

the family. Our purpose is to support family oriented activities in the equine area. L.M.H.A. shows are open for ALL to attend.

Membership is offered for those who choose, they also receive the perks of using the blanket fee as well as being eligible for Weekend

and Year End High Points. We are very proud of the quality of awards we are able to provide. We also offer a fun an fantastic Year En
