The Northwest Quarter Horse Association, Inc. (NWQHA)

has been an active quarter horse association since the mid-1940s. The NWQHA is steeped in a long tradition of quarter horse ownership and the traditions of the real west~the Pacific Northwest. Having been founded by quarter horse owners/ breeders in Pendleton, Athena, Adams, Oregon, the association once encompassed a membership from the states of Oregon, Washington, Califorina, Nevada, and Idaho.

The Northwest Quarter Horse Association has monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of the month, September through June. These meeting rotate to various restaurants / conference rooms around our Oregon-Washington membership area. Emails are sent out to our membership of the time and location of our next monthly meeting.

The NWQHA also tries to have group rides in the wide open spaces as weather, time permits and we ride the indoor arena at the Walla Walla Fairgrounds when winter weather doesn't permit outdoor riding.

Congratulations’ to Dick Monahan

on being elected to the AQHA Executive Committee. Having an AQHA International President from the Northwest will promote, benefit, and bring recognition to the Northwest and The Region One Experience.

The Monahan’s were instrumental in the early days of the club promoting and supporting Derby's, Futurities, Shows, and Sales; they have raised and raced American Quarter Horses for more than 30 years.

Thank you Dick for all you do, you inspire us all!
