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.

What does it take to do Search and Rescue on Horseback?

June 25, 2025

PROGRAM ONLY: 6 PM

Santa Fe Sheriff's Posse Grounds, 3213 Rodeo Rd, Santa Fe NM 87507

The primary mission of the Santa Fe Sheriff's Posse is to aid in official Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts as coordinated through NM State Police. They are an all-volunteer organization and spend many hours year-round to train themselves and their horses to be ready when called. Horses, especially, must be calm in the face of innumerable challenges like sirens, obstacles underfoot and erratic activity. Training Officer Kathy Olshefsky and other SFSP members will demonstrate a required certification test for horses and riders before they may serve.

Program is at the SFSP Arena. Please dress appropriately for the outdoors, eat beforehand or bring takeout, and perhaps a lawn chair. To take advantage of daylight, please note the program will begin earlier than usual, at 6pm.

See you there!
