Program Meetings

NNMHA holds frequent meetings featuring program speakers and Association news. The public is welcome to attend regular program meetings free of any charge.

Program Meetings and Coffee Chats

Program meetings are typically the last Wednesday of the month year-round and are usually hosted at a restaurant where we may share a meal and enjoy a presentation by local speakers. Location or date may change for holidays or occasions when we may benefit from arena demonstrations in lieu of a dinner program. Program meetings are free and the public is invited to attend.

Our Coffee Chats are held during the winter as a no-agenda, informal way to get together once a month to catch up on news with other members when weather may interfere with more outdoor pursuits. Coffee Chats are the second Tuesday at Big R in Santa Fe.

Upcoming Programs

“State of the Union” Program Meeting to Focus on Member Input, Ideas

Howard Gershon
Wednesday, October 28

Dinner at 6, program at 7pm

Dr. Field Goods, 187 Paseo De Peralta, Santa Fe, NM 87501

The next monthly program meeting is special. First, we’ll hear from President Howard Gershon who will provide an overview of where NNMHA is headed these days, and why. Then, Board member Amelia Adair will facilitate group discussions to better understand what’s important to members. We need your input to help guide the Board in planning for next year and beyond.

So, please attend and come with your ideas, questions and comments. For example, should NNMHA have fewer or more clinics? What kind of clinics and workshops interest you? We have hosted demonstrations by experts who make saddles, fix horse trailers and ride in the backcountry. What other demos would you like? What specific topics about horse health and care interest you? Or, training, whether western dressage, handling obstacles or working with cattle?

Plus, to whet your whistle a bit, there will be a cash bar during the meeting. We want to make this meeting as informal, interactive and meaningful as possible. We look forward to seeing you there!
