The Clarkson Horseman Association (CHA) was formed in 1994 by local area horse owners, breeders, and enthusiasts for the purpose of educating the community about horses.

The CHA plans many events throughout the year. Paid members can earn points at designated CHA events towards year end awards. Some of the events include a series of Open Horse Shows and numerous trail Rides and Fun Shows.

The CHA also participates in community events such as parades and providing rides to the physically challenged. Since 1997, the Club has participated in the Lilac Parade which kicks off the Lilac Festival in the City of Rochester.
