Join us

Membership in your local Horse Club is not about whether you have a horse or not. It’s not about whether you use the club facilities or participate in shows. Membership is about being part of a community of like minded people. People that care for horses, have horses, love horses and all that goes along with horses.

Membership is one of the ways we can stay connected as a community and how we advocate for and support horses having a place in our town. A strong membership base of riding and non-riding horse owners and caregivers, will show that our Equine Community contributes to the economic and social fabric of our town. 

With a strong membership we can apply for funding from Horse Council of BC and other grants to improve our facilities, our trails, to bring educators to our remote area, and be better represented and responsive in times of disaster. We can put on community programs and actually grow!

Throughout the year we host educational seminars, info-sessions, movie nights, shows, clinics, workshops, BBQ's and more. Your membership gives you access to all of these events and helps our club have a strong voice in our community for all things horse related. 

We have different membership choices. Riding, non-riding….. just join. Build the group and the be an advocate for horses in Squamish. We have lots of exciting things planned for this year and with your ideas and support theres no limit to what we can do!
