Oklahoma Buckskin Horse Association (OBHA)-ABRA Charter Club

Since 1981, the Oklahoma Buckskin Horse Association (OBHA) has played a vital role in promoting Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun, and Grulla horses throughout the state. As a respected ABRA Charter Club, OBHA provides competitive opportunities while fostering a welcoming, family-oriented environment.


Through horse show competition and youth development, OBHA continues to strengthen Oklahoma’s Buckskin tradition.


How OBHA Operates as an ABRA Charter Club

As an active ABRA Charter Club, OBHA offers a full showbill that supports both ABRA-registered horses and All Breed participation.

OBHA provides:

  • ABRA-approved classes with lifetime point eligibility

  • All Breed classes for horses of any color

  • Youth, Amateur, Ranch, Walk/Trot, and Open divisions

  • High Point and year-end award opportunities

  • Multiple 2026 shows in Tulsa and Claremore, Oklahoma


This inclusive structure encourages participation while increasing exposure and value for Buckskin horses.


Competition, Community & Long-Term Growth

OBHA’s mission extends beyond the show pen. The association works to:

  • Promote awareness of the Buckskin breed

  • Provide youth development opportunities

  • Encourage responsible breeding and horsemanship

  • Create a supportive, family-friendly show environment


A strong ABRA Charter Club like OBHA ensures that regional exhibitors have consistent opportunities to compete, connect, and grow.
