The Capital Region of NY Horsewomen group connects women who share a passion for equines and a desire to meet other local, kindred spirits. Most members reside in or around the counties of Albany, Rensselaer, Columbia, Saratoga & Schenectady, NY.

Members are involved in many disciplines - Dressage, English, Western, Driving, Polo, Racing and more... and breeds - from Morgans to Minies to Mules, and everything in between! Some are newcomers to the area, others have lived in upstate NY for years. Experience with equines varies from complete novice to seasoned professional.

Do all members have horses? Some do, some don't - and a few are simply "Horsewomen at heart!"

Whether horses are present in your life now or not, there are wonderful friendships and networking opportunities awaiting you in CRNYH.

CRNYH Benefits: SOCIALIZE with women who share your passion at our semi-regular gatherings, workshops, impromptu outings, annual BBQ and more; NETWORK to find neighbors, events, vets, farriers, horse sitters, instructors, horses, barns & services; PROMOTE your barn, business, artwork, store or rescue; SHARE NEWS of web resources & VIEWS on issues that impact the recreational and professional horse industries.

CRNYH membership requirements are few and easy: Come to an occasional gathering, RSVP to ON-LINE invitations extended by group members and contribute something to our message board every so often.

FYI: CRNYH is neither an anonymous nor impersonal internet "horse" group. We're women who enjoy meeting new faces - and we make the effort to do so! Non-participatory "Lurkers" are very strongly discouraged.
