DCHA is involved in many activities within the horse industry. We continue our support of groups and individuals with a firm commitment to our established objectives. The objectives of the Association are: 1. To promote Horse back riding and to create interest and encourage people to take part in those activities. 2. To promote better horsemanship and more sportsmanlike conduct. 3. To encourage and conduct exhibitions of horses. 4. To Promote better Breeding,  handling and care of horses. 5. To build and maintain an arena! Nearly fifty years ago these objectives were established by a group brought together with one common goal...The good of the horse. After all these years we can proudly say we have Not met our goals. That may sound alarming, but not so.
