We are California Gymkhana Association Dist 45, the "Gymkhana Rush Riders". Based in Sebastopol, we support riders from Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Mendocino & Lake Counties in No. Calif.

For those of you that are new to speed events you may be wondering what is Gymkhana? Gymkhana is timed obstacle racing on horseback. It's one of the most exciting FAMILY oriented equestrian sports in the world. Gymkhana is the action packed, precision sport of the equestrian world-a good Gymkhana horse must have the speed of a race horse, the turning quickness & agility of a cutting horse, & the control and responsiveness of a stock horse.

CGA has brought fairness and dignity to Gymkhana with the standardization of Gymkhana rules and the "Earn As You Learn" awards programs. Riders now have the opportunity to win awards in Gymkhana as they develop their riding skills. CGA is very proud that all riders, from 3 to 83, can compete and earn awards. There are 13 events designed to challange you and your horse.

CGA is an APHA-PAC 2008 Approved association - access their website from "LINKS" & print out PAC forms from "FILES". There are other forms you can print,too, including maps, entry forms, etc., as well as links for easy access to CGA State, the riding clubs where our shows are, etc. Also, check out the "EVENTS" tab in the Calendar menu for upcoming show dates.
