Foothills Chapter Membership
We are one of the largest chapters in northern California with approximately 280 members. Our chapter members come from a large area around Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada Foothills. The majority of our membership is made up of Adult Amateurs, with a smattering of Junior/Young Riders, and a number of trainers, breeders, and other professionals.
General meetings are held several times per year (please refer to events calandar as times and days are subject to change). We alternate locations between a member's house and a local restaurant. Restaurant meetings are no-host. Meetings held at member's houses are pot-lucks. Feel free to bring whatever type of dish or side dish you prefer. There's always lots of food.
The Foothills Chapter puts on shows every year as fund raisers for the chapter. Shows are generally one star or schooling shows, and are held at Pacific Equestrian Center in Wilton, CA. Shows are manned by volunteers from the membership. Many of the competitors are also from the chapter membership. Annual high point awards are given to qualifying chapter members competing at chapter sponsored shows.
We are always looking for ways to better serve our members through clinics, educational speakers at meetings, and other chapter sponsored events.
