NOTICE

It is with much regret that The Northeast Texas Horseman’s Association will no longer be having AQHA and/or Introductory horse shows.  On Tuesday, January 10, 2012, after holding prior meetings with much discussion and researching the options, the Board of Directors voted to discontinue operations of the Association and disperse existing funds to various 501 (c) (3) charitable organizations.

Two main ingredients are required to put on successful shows - people and money.  While it was the hope of the Association to help promote the horse industry in Hopkins County and surrounding areas, it is a task which requires help from those it serves.  Along with the lack of interest from the community and individual members, the Board’s decision was based on lack of appropriate funds needed to put on and operate shows, downturn in the economy, low show participation numbers, and the AQHA rule change regarding Introductory Show points.  This rule change will significantly lower the number of show participants in our shows.

We sincerely appreciate the people and businesses that sponsored the Association through the years and we thank those who participated in our shows.
