Since 1964, the California Professional Horsemen’s Association (CPHA) has represented and supported professional horsemen throughout California. As a not-for-profit organization, the CPHA provides a unified voice and a wide range of valuable programs that benefit professionals in the state’s extensive equestrian industry.

Members of the CPHA can access resources such as excess accident insurance and discounted participation in the H2B Visa Program, which facilitates the legal employment of grooms and stable hands from abroad. These programs, along with others, support the careers and well-being of professionals who earn at least 50% of their income from equestrian-related activities.

The CPHA is also committed to fostering the growth of amateur equestrian sports, enhancing horse show participation, and promoting the welfare of show horses. Through its various initiatives, the organization serves as a crucial resource for California’s equestrian community, continually striving to improve the experience and professional development of its members.
