UMH Ladies Auxiliary

The UMH Ladies Auxiliary (UMH LA) was established in 2006, by a group of dedicated horse women. The Ladies Auxiliary is a valuable asset to UMH. With their annual Charity Horse Show in Prestonsburg, KY, their donations to women’s and children’s charities, and their support for others in crisis, the Auxiliary members have been a driving force toward UMH’s goal of promoting mountain horses. If you would like to know more about the Ladies Auxiliary, please contact Terry Kleier at lazyk@fuse.net or if you would like to join the LA,
