NKHA’s History

In 1981, nine horsemen and women created the Northeast Kansas Hunter

Association (NKHA), which sanctions hunter horse shows for riders of all

ages and all levels of experience. The circuit was designed to provide a

fun, educational experience for riders in a hunter ring.

The objectives of the NKHA are:

- To further the education of the membership in all aspects pertaining to

hunter competition

- To establish and promote a uniform body of rules governing the conduct of

horse shows sponsored or sanctioned by the association

- To ensure the fair enforcement of such rules for the common benefit of

all participants

- To further the art of riding and to promote and encourage good

horsemanship and sportsmanship
