Today, the MHAA also boasts the same hospitality for miniature horse lovers, with a thriving membership and member-driven events, such as the upcoming 38th Annual Touch of Class Horse Show. The show offering a full slate of AMHA and AMHR classes is now held together with the Kick Off Arizona Show (since 2014), and the dates span Thursday, April 10, 2025, to Sunday, April 13, 2025, at Westworld of Scottsdale.

 

The registered 501c3 non-profit organization and its members offer much more in the way of camaraderie than shows, however. Mini horse lovers will discover a variety of clinics, fun shows, therapy team activities, trail drives, and gatherings, as well as an annual awards banquet in January, all offered for both the new and the seasoned miniature lover. In addition, many mini horse enthusiasts learn that sharing their love of the miniature horse to be extremely gratifying, inspiring the “My Mini and Me Program.” This program promotes the miniature horse to the public by encouraging members to participate with their minis in the public venue and to participate in Club activities/meetings.

 

End-of-the year awards are given to members who collect the most points! Since the beginning, promoting the American Miniature Horse breed through showing, education, sponsorship, and sportsmanship at meetings, driving events, and specialty Miniature Horse shows has remained the objective of the Miniature Horse Association of Arizona and its members.

 

Today’s leadership, President Julianna Myers, Vice President Rebecca Hubal, Secretary Tammy Schreiber, Treasurer Mary Ronek, Social Secretary Alma Ramirez, and Board Members Laurie Davidson, Barbara Lunsmann, Marcia Sizemore, and Donna Vollmer, all welcome new members with open arms. Monthly Board Meetings are held the 1st Wednesday of the Month via Zoom. All members are welcome to join in and listen, and General Membership meetings are held quarterly.
