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.

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.

We can never learn enough about the emergencies we may face as equestrians. Rattlesnake bites (pictured above), loose horseshoe, or sudden lameness are just a few we may experience whether near home or out for the weekend. You can ease your anxiety about such emergencies at our Wednesday, May 28, program meeting. Dr. Doug Thal, DVM, will join us to discuss trouble shooting a variety of emergency equine scenarios.

Join other members for dinner by 6pm (or even earlier for a more relaxed affair!) or come for the program beginning at approximately 7pm. Buy the dinner of your choice out front and join us in the back room!
