About the Association
THA is a brand new international association designed to help riders demonstrate the versatility of their horses
and their ability to perform traditional horsemanship movements with goodwill and elegance, regardless of the breed of horse or the price paid for him!
Our Philosophy
THA’s philosophy promotes training solutions that respect the horse’s body and mind. Through its artistic presentations, it embodies the versatile ideal of various classical riding traditions started during the Baroque Period in the “Manege” (the original name for the riding arena), and on the cattle ranches of Europe and the
Americas.
