The Virginia Beach Horse Show Association is a volunteer organization consisting of hundreds of members including farms, adult amateurs, professionals, juniors and.. people who love horses. The Association’s purpose is to promote sportsmanship and horsemanship; to conduct horse shows, clinics, forums, and other special events; to assign show dates and certify recognition of shows; to encourage participation in all VBHSA recognized shows and events by all Association members who are in good standing; and to make adequate and fair rules governing competitions and to enforce them for the common benefit. The Association recognizes approximately 20 Virginia Horse Show Association-rated shows each year, and tracks points for year-end awards, which are awarded at an annual banquet.. The Association also supports via donations various charitable organizations including local rescue squads, the EQUI-KIDS Therapeutic Riding Program, and equine rescue organizations.
