The CONNECTICUT RIVER ARABIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION                   C.R.A.A. is a club comprised of a diverse group of people with one thing in common - the Love of the Arabian Horse.

Through annual events such as Horse Shows, Clinics, and Fun Days, the group gathers to work and play, share experiences, and enjoy each other's company.

The C.R.A.A. is also dedicated to educating the public on the oldest horse breed, the Arabian and encourage horse owners and non-horse owners alike, to attend and participate in club events. The Connecticut River Arabian Horse Association is a fun, laid back group of people that hope to introduce you and your friends to the Arabian horse - THE ULTIMATE SHOW HORSE

If you have any questions, please contact any Board member, and we'll be delighted to help in any way we can.
