Our club, consisting of ~80 members with over 100 horses and ponies, participates in meetings, clinics, workshops, judging contests, shows and community service events during the year. Each spring the club hosts a clinic for its younger members to learn basic horsemanship and horse care and a charity horse show which benefits a Noble County organization (This year the proceeds were donated to the Garrett Lash Benefit). During May and June, specialized workshops are offered 3 nights a week in both Kendallville and Albion for all members. The club members also invite the students from the Northeast Indiana Special Education Co-op for a day of riding.
The Mid-States horse show, hosted by the club, has grown to be one of the largest horse shows in the area, highlighted by the 4-H team tournament where typically 30 teams from 15 counties in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio compete for the winner’s jackets.
Noble County is a member of Area XI. This area also includes the following counties: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Steuben, Wells and Whitley. The Area XI Committee sponsors the Area Hippology and Area Judging contests that qualify top placing teams and individuals to participate in the associated State contests.
