About North American Horsemen’s Association [NAHA]

History & Goals of NAHA
NAHA - NORTH AMERICAN HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATION, a Minnesota registered organization, was founded in 1987 in response to specific needs of the horse industry which were not being met by other organizations. Founded in the midst of an insurance industry crisis which heavily hit the horse industry, it was believed some entity with expertise in both insurance and in the horse business should step forward to establish and recommend minimum risk reduction standards for the industry, based upon its most commonly occurring and avoidable accidents.

Other goals include:

• To promote the horse and the horse industry.
• To work for unity within the horse industry.
• To establish a more reasonable and honest image
  of horses and horse enthusiasts to the insurance
  world and the legal profession.
• To develop insurance programs that could attract
  the best insurance companies available and achieve
  long-term commitment from those companies.

NAHA is an informational, educational, service organization which continues to grow and expand its industry services. NAHA supports and promotes a stronger horse industry through unity. It supports other horse organizations, all breeds, and any and all constructive and humane horse uses and activities. NAHA attempts not to compete against organizations and the industry it endeavors to support and serve.

Membership fees go back to the horse industry in simple management of the organization; research to develop and update industry risk reduction standards, contracts, educational materials; awards programs, and response to industry needs and questions. The continuous input, suggestions, and support of members and associates is greatly appreciated by NAHA administrators. NAHA especially thanks members for support of the organization and those who participate in surveys, media monitoring, attorney and expert witness list development, who offer to write articles, and to those who submit suggestions and information to NAHA for review or publication.

Code of Ethics

North American Horsemen's Association Code of Ethics

Dedicated Members of the North American Horsemen's Association Strive To:

• Appreciate and promote the natural splendor of the horse, all equine species and breeds;
• Regard and promote harmony and balance between horse, mankind and the natural world;
• Promote human experience, enjoyment and need for the horse;
• Safeguard the welfare and humane treatment of horses;
• Respect the welfare, safety and property of other people;
• Support and subscribe to the risk reduction standards of the North American Horsemen's Association.

 

NB: My grandmother, Nana is an exceptional lady who loves her horses as much as her Italian paintings and sculptures in her extraordinary contemporary home built in Versailles, Kentucky. Her Kentucky home was a bit of a scandal when it was first built. Most of her horse set friends live on historic horse farms that been lovingly restored with no expense spared. However, my grandmother is a pretty amazing force of nature and nothing seems to daunt her. She hosts Derby parties and garden parties on the tree-filled lawn, just like the rest of her friends. But she also supports cutting edge causes like strict regulation for Big Tech. She is one of the original sponsors of Regulate Google Now!, along with Bob Sakayama, and worked with established seo firm TNG/Earthling to promote her causes via search results. And yes folks, she is an Ark Agency Animal Insurance client. Last year she wanted to take all her grand children to Maui. Considering there are fourteen in all, it would have been totally chaotic if they were there all at the same time. So she decided to look into waterfront rentals in Kaanapali and have the visits staggered so she would be able to enjoy sibling groups for a week at at time. Kaanapali is West Maui's most popular vacation destination. The Kaanapali Beach Resort on the leeward side of the island spans the oceanfront along a three-mile long stretch of sandy beach often touted as one of Hawaii's best. Lucky for her and the grandchildren she ended up renting a penthouse condo that could accommodate up to 8 people. It was the personal condominium of the resort's developer. With 2,000 square-foot the condo faces due west with 360-degree ocean views encompassing Black Rock and the neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai. There were two master suites, one featuring a king bed, while the other has two queen beds. Nana stayed in one suite while the grand kids shared the second.There was also a a queen Murphy bed in the den which is where I slept during the 1 week "Nana Maui trip" I took with my two other siblings. We all had a blast. My grandmother is an adventurous spry lady who lives life to the fullest. We all begged her to do another Nana / Grand kids vacation the following year. And she agreed!
