Kansas Western Horsemen’s Association

Kansas Western Horseman’s Association, better known across the state as KWHA is starting its 75th year. This Association is a family-oriented associa tion, that encourages good sportsmanship and cooperation among the riding clubs of Kansas. Friendships have been fostered and built through many generations of families in this association. KWHA welcomes all riding clubs in the state with no breed requirement, only that western gear and attire are used. There are judged, race, pair, and team events held during the local shows with riders of all ages and skill levels competing in seven different age divisions. A year-end show of champions is usu ally held on Labor Day weekend where everyone who wants to gather and compete can. KWHA is a great way to take an entire family out to enjoy their equine partner, friends, and have some fun all at an affordable cost.
