Membership with the Northern Horse & Mule Harness Association (NHMHA) has many valuable benefits and merits. While you do not need to be a member of the NHMHA in order to take part in our events, purchasing an NHMHA Membership galvanizes our club for the purpose of promoting the sport of driving:
- We enjoy driving our horses, mules and donkeys in parades, at fairs, special events (weddings, parties) and rodeos. We drive in all seasons!
- We support driving competitions and classes in horse shows and country fairs.
- Our club participates in providing drives for functions which sometimes raise funds through donations.
- Our funds allow us to support institutions and clubs such as Ride for the Disabled and 4H chapters.
- Our funds allow us to hold frequent events like training clinics, a winter cutter rally, Sleigh Days, our annual Wagon Trek (May long weekend), driving Fun Days, Appreciation Day Drive-and-BBQ, a Harvest Drive, and our annual Christmas Party. Members are often free of charge for events.
Monthly meetings provide socialization with common interests, slide shows, and presentations for topics of interest. An annual equine calendar is provided to all members featuring our members' teams, sleighs and wagons. Attending our monthly meetings is a good opportunity to network in a sport which is growing faster than any other equine activity in North America. Join us! Come out and learn how to drive.
