The California Cow Horse Association is a National Reined Cow Horse Association affiliate dedicated to promoting the ownership, training and exhibition of reined cow horses and preserving the Vaquero training tradition.

CCHA shows offer a wide range of NRCHA and CCHA approved open and non pro reined cow horse classes, providing a place for exhibitors of all ages and experience levels and horses of all ages and stages of training to practice, compete for prize money and awards and improve their showmanship.

CCHA shows strive to give spectators, owners and exhibitors the best live cow horse action possible. CCHA shows include many of the best horses and exhibitors in the reined cow horse industry.

The CCHA is growing and we want you to grow with us. Include yourself in our ranks from youths and beginning non pros to top open and non pro exhibitors. Currently, CCHA members come from 31 of California’s 58 counties.
