About Us/Membership

2023 marks our 73 Years in Existence!

Each year the New York State Saddle Horse Association (NYSSHA) gives out year-end awards in over 70 categories to eligible horses and riders that compete at NYSSHA sanctioned shows. For those who love to trail ride, NYSSHA promotes trail riding and presents year-end awards for those riders that log the most hours trail riding. To be eligible for these year-end awards you must be a member of NYSSHA, and be nominated by completing the NYSSHA Equitation Points Nomination Sheet,  NYSSHA Performance Points Nomination Sheet, NYSSHA Gymkhana Nomination Sheet or the NYSSHA Trail Riding Enrollment Form. To be a member of the NYSSHA, exhibitors must belong to one of the member clubs.  If you would like to become a member of one of the affiliated clubs please see the contact information and membership applications listed below.
