The Mandan Horse and Saddle Club is a family
and youth oriented organization that promotes
the development of horsemanship skills
through participation and competition in riding
activities for all ages.
Mandan Horse and Saddle Club activities are
the perfect place to practice what you have
learned in 4-H and can serve as a conduit to
high school rodeo and other advanced levels of
competition.
Activities are also great for adult riders who may
be past achieving their National Finals Rodeo
dreams, but who still enjoy the thrill of
competition! Regardless of your level of
intensity, you're sure to enjoy the networking
with others involved in the region's horse
industry.
