B.C. Bridlehorse Heritage Association ~ Annual General Meeting
Dear BCBHA members,
As we look back on this year we thank you for the many ways you’ve supported the BCBHA. At our clinics and at the Art of the Bridlehorse, we saw members welcome first-time riders, lend a hand behind the scenes, and take the time to teach our youth. It’s that willingness to show up for one another that makes this community so special. We’re grateful to each of you for being part of it!
Our BC Bridlehorse Heritage Association Annual General Meeting will take place by Zoom on Tuesday, December 15, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time. Eligible members will elect the BCBHA Board of Directors at the meeting.
