The CSHA (California State Horsemen’s Association) Region 4 Gymkhana Program is open to anyone who lives in the Central Valley. Riders must be a member of CSHA either a direct member or a member of an affiliated club.

The CSHA Gymkhana program is by time divisions, so riders compete with riders and mounts of like ability providing more equal level of competition. Riders can compete at the speed they feel most comfortable and beginners have the opportunity to place at the shows and advance as their skill increases.

Events are staged at a variety of locations, including Waterford Horseman’s Club, Hearts Desire in Manteca and Diamond Bar in Ceres.

Region 4 is looking for new riders. A riders meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 27 at 1 p.m., with the gathering set at Round Table Pizza, 253 Spreckels Ave., Manteca.
