We have monthly membership meetings with a potluck that provides opportunities to be in touch with fellow horse people and be part of the community

Check our website and social media to stay up to date with our events throughout the year. We offer:

Clinics of varied topics including general horsemanship, Vaquero Style riding, Mounted Archery to name a few
Group Trail rides at Point Reyes, the beach, Running I Ranch , etc
Schooling shows for all ages
Poker rides and Halloween Costume Contest
Easter egg hunt
Makers Market
Obstacle competitions

Our horse shows are a great way to tune your horse up, get young horses used to the excitement and improve your showmanship. Many families make the horse shows a family affair with all participating, particularly the junior riders.

Our yearly Crab Feed and our December Holiday Party are just two of the fun get-togethers. Being an all volunteer club, we have many committees to choose from to help keep the club a viable resource to the Napa Valley community.

As with any club we rely on member volunteer participation to put many of these events on and we welcome anybody who is interested in contributing to the variety of our activities.

There are many opportunities for our members to participate in activities throughout the year such as committees, social events, property workdays, etc. You can't have too much fun!

How to become a Member

The petition needs signatures of your sponsors who need to be current NVHA members, or the NVHA Membership Secretary. Once you have submitted your application, the membership secretary will contact you and ask you to come to a general membership meeting (every first monday of the month, unless it's a Holiday, then it's the Monday after). Check out the calendar under the Events Tab. You will be introduced and then your application will go into our Newsletter. At the following Board Meeting your application will be voted on by the Board of Directors. The process takes about 2 months. You will be notified by the membership secretary and be given the property rule book and access codes and will be added to the Newsletter distribution. Easy as Pie!

The annual dues are $90.00 per person and $180 for Family Membership, payable by the first meeting of the year.
