MEET THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA ARABIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION
The Central Coast of California Arabian Horse Association was formed by Arabian Horse owners to create a local group to further the enjoyment of the Arabian breed and increase the knowledge, care, and safe use of the Arabian and Half-Arabian Horse. It is open to Arabian and Half-Arabian horse owners, fans with horses of other breeds, and people who don’t own horses. The CCCAHA supports diverse horse centered interests.
A common denominator of all these activities can be the sharing of common experiences. Whether it’s a barbecue after a ride, a dinner meeting, a lively Christmas Party, or a clinic, people gather with other horse lovers. In the horse world people of many backgrounds: the young and those with more years, the very rich and those who save on other things to support a horse, those with thousands of acres and those with two horses on an acre, or a horse at a boarding stable, those from a ranch in Montana and someone from Manhattan find horse interests to share. The CCCAHA invites you to join us in our enjoyment of life with horses.
Many of the members take advantage of the trails and beaches for pleasure riding, independently or at organized times and places. Trail riders take part in competitive trail rides and even endurance rides between 25 and 100 miles. For many the motto is,”to finish is to win,” with the goal to finish in better condition or in a faster time than before.
The CCCAHA provides fun days and local Open All Breed Horse Show series for exhibitors with a competitive spirit. These shows have open, all breed classes for jumping, hunter, western, halter, driving, handling, trail, pony/very small equine, lead line, and Arabian classes. Walk-trot classes are provided for all ages. The club has sponsored Class A shows in the past. Region 2 Class A shows have all classes to qualify for national championships.
Some of the members are involved in breeding and raising Arabian, Half Arabian, and Anglo-Arabian Horses. There is satisfaction in combining genes to create beauty, conformation, performance and disposition. This interest may include the history and pedigrees of bloodlines back to the original desert bred imports which are also the foundation of other breed of modern saddle horses.
