OUR
MISSION
Cultivating a positive, diverse, collaborative region where there is broad enthusiasm and support for equestrian sports as well as the land and accessibility that sustain them is what we're all about. Our mission is to achieve greater collaboration and integration among the equestrian disciplines, breed associations, advocacy groups, and riding clubs of Northwest Arkansas which in turn will cultivate a community that speaks with one public voice and ensures riding will be available and accessible to all people in our area, now and in the future.

COMMUNITY
CHALLENGES
Perhaps some of the greatest challenges we face within the Equestrian Community are preservation of our heritage, land conservation issues, dwindling educational opportunities for our youth and adults, and political roadblocks within each "niche".
Our community must meet these challenges head on in order to provide solutions, funding, and put collaborative efforts to work in order to support each other's organizations and equestrian related efforts for future sustainability and a thriving culture.
OUR PARTNERS
We are proud to partner with a variety of organizations and businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area to further our mission of promoting and protecting the interests of the equestrian community. These partners include local equestrian clubs, riding schools, veterinary clinics, and feed stores, as well as other non-profit organizations and community groups. By working together, we can achieve our shared goal of creating a more vibrant and sustainable equestrian community in Northwest Arkansas.
