They say our future lies within our youth. No truer words have been spoken, especially when it comes to the longevity of our club. Todays kids in youth group will carry on with traditional, and innovative ideas in the coming years of IHA. Just as in the past, our children have grown and taken the reins, so will our youth of this year. These kids, between ages 8 and 18 are the lifeblood of any organization.
Their energy, imagination, and drive continues to move this club forward.
Again may I add, this and all pages are constantly changing. Any youth in our association is welcome to place a picture, a poem or any other writings on this page.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Jack Benny Show!
We had 22 riders and everyone that attended had a great time! The costumes were great, as always.
There was Leo the "Horsefly" who took 1st place & Clipper who was covered in animals representing "Madagascar", Willow was dressed as a "Knight", Sam was a colorful "Hippie" and Joe was covered in candy corn!
Awesome job everyone!
We had some "apple bobbing" games for extra points that were enjoyed by the horses, riders and especially the spectators! Lenny Leggio won $78.00 in the 50/50 raffle, and the other prizes were awarded to Karen (Snowman Chiminea donated by the Hayloft & Mary's Pizza gift certificate) & Lance Malone (Halloween Mum).
