The mission of the IRHA is to promote well broke, reliable, and versatile stock horses.  IRHA strives to develop the horsemanship skills of our members and to provide an atmosphere where honesty, personal growth and politeness towards fellow horsemen exists.  An environment where horses are respected and where true western tradition is genuinely honored.

IRHA is open to western stock horse breeds, whether ridden on the ranch, on the trail or in the arena.  It is open to all enthusiasts who want to become better horsemen and horsewomen and have more fun with their horses in a safe and friendly environment with like-minded horse people.

The national club (American Ranch Horse Association) was founded to promote the abilities of the all around versatile working horse through shows, clinics, and sales in a friendly, down-to-earth family atmosphere, while establishing a uniform set of rules, providing qualified ranch horse judges, as well as to promote uniformity and consistency in judging, increase the use of common standards, and to provide a national point system and a World Show for exhibitors to compete for national awards and titles.

For those who wish to test their horsemanship skills and abilities and generally have fun doing so, the Indiana Ranch Horse Association offers the ideal opportunity.

Annual family membership in IRHA is $25.  Annual individual membership is $10.  Youth membership is $5. Please go to our Forms page to download a membership form.
