Welcome to the Aquidneck Island Horseman's Asso, Inc.
The Aquidneck Island Horseman's Association has been a vital part of the larger horse community of the state of Rhode Island. The club started in 1982 for the purpose of furthering the interests of the horse owners on the island but grew to include the surrounding towns of Tiverton, Little Compton and Bristol among others. Some members even hail from outside of the state of Rhode Island. AIHA educates its members on trail etiquette and safety for all trail users. An Event which has proven to be the club's largest fund raiser is the annual Hunter Pace which is held every October. Proceeds raised have enabled AIHA to donate funding to a wide variety of causes; such as, Land Preservation, Natural Disasters, Animal Abuse to name a few. Other gatherings include trail rides and cookouts to name a few. Business meetings are held every other month and anyone interested may attend.
On, June 29th at the Preservation Society of Newport County, AIHA hosted a club social. Thirty Two people attended a multimedia presentation featuring vintage images and digital recordings about the Glen. The history of the area from colonial times to its era as a favorite picnic spot in the 1850s to its life as a gentleman’s farm owned by the Taylor family through to the present were covered. A virtual walking tour of recordings of the memories of the Camara sisters, who grew up on Glen Farm, was played. Our speaker, Mrs. Gloria Schmidt could not have been more informative. With a question and answer period following it was clear people in the audience had quiet a bit of history to add of their own.
Our 21st Annual Hunter Pace is planned for Sunday, October 4th, 2009. More info will be avilable as the date nears; but mark your calendar. Results of last years pace are posted - scroll down for the link to a .pdf file.
