Charter clubs are essential to expanding opportunity, education, and competition within the American Buckskin Registry Association. The Kansas Buckskin Horse Association (KBHA) is a respected ABRA Charter Club serving exhibitors, breeders, and youth riders throughout Kansas.

KBHA promotes Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun, and Grulla horses while supporting ABRA’s mission through regional engagement and education.

How an ABRA Charter Club Like KBHA Supports the Industry

As an active ABRA Charter Club, KBHA encourages responsible breeding, good horsemanship, and sportsmanship while providing accessible, ABRA-approved competition.

KBHA supports exhibitors by:

Offering ABRA-approved shows and year-end high point awards
Allowing ABRA points earned locally to count toward national standings
Providing opportunities for participation without requiring club membership to show

This inclusive approach helps grow participation while rewarding dedication and performance.

Membership Benefits & Youth Leadership Opportunities

KBHA members earn points toward year-end awards and can participate in the annual election of the Board of Directors, supporting strong leadership within the club.

Youth members may compete for the title of KBHA Youth Ambassador, representing the charter club at regional events and advancing to the ABRA World Show to compete for the national Youth Ambassador title.

These programs highlight the important role an ABRA Charter Club plays in developing future equine leaders.
