Welcome to the Vermont Quarter Horse Association website. We are dedicated to bringing together Quarter Horse enthusiasts from all over Vermont. Our members do everything from showing, dressage, and trail riding to barrel racing and team penning. We invite all horse people to check out our website, talk to our members, and join us at one of our events.

From the desk of the President:

As mother nature teases us with spring like weather our horses ever growing winter coats don't hide what is around the corner. Although VQHA doesn't sponsor any winter riding events, please know that we will be busily planning the upcoming years events. We welcome members to participate by joining a committee, helping with donations and sponsorships, looking at new locations for trail rides, educational opportunities, or anything that will support our members and their horses.

This year we are focusing on membership and fundraising. Why did you become a VQHA member? What do you want your club to offer you? Please be watching for a survey to answer questions such as these so we can better direct our marketing. If we don't know what you want how can we provide?

In closing, I challenge each member to recruit one new member. Maybe this person was a member in the past, or is a new horse owner. Memberships make great gifts for the quarter horse enthusiast.

~ Shannon
VtQHA President

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS: We need pictures of your with your quarter horse! Please email to Shannon ASAP.

  Allegra Walters and Leah Thomas of the J. Stewart Performance Horses team recently competed at the 2009 Congress. Leah Thomas was a finalist in the Novice Youth Hunt Seat Equitation 15-18 with Mo Roses Please. Go Leah! Allegra and Ben’s Chocolate Chip had good rides and Allegra was very happy just to have the chance to compete, since “Ben” had been laid up with a bruised coffin bone until about 2 ½ weeks before the show. She is looking forward to Congress 2010. Congrats on a job well-done by both girls and everyone else who competed from Vermont!
