This laid-back summer gathering is all about celebrating our riders, families, and supporters with games, snacks, and good company. Whether you're a long-time member or brand new to SMHJA, you're invited!
Bring a blanket or lawn chair, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time with the people who make our community so special. This is a family-friendly event—no horses needed—and a great chance to connect outside the show ring.
Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly!
We can’t wait to see you there! 💚🐴
