WELCOME

The Chinook Equine Association (CEA), located in North Eastern Oregon along the Columbia River, is a group of horse people who have formed a publicly supported, member based, non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of Equine Sports.  Equine shows of all caliber, which are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, are held at various locations throughout the Columbia River Basin.  You might never have heard of the CEA, or you've participated in our events before and know all about us.  In either case, we welcome each and every one of you to our web site.  Feel free to look around.

The CEA depends upon the generosity of the public to carry on its mission.  Sponsorships, donations and volunteers are desperately needed.  Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated.  If you wish to become a sponsor for individual shows, our championship show, our End-Of-Year Awards/Banquet or donate items to our Silent Auction, please contact an officer or download the sponsorship form from our Printable Stuff section.  We also accept items to be used for our annual raffle.  Past year's raffle items have included a filly yearling horse and two Dirk Godby prints.  In 2006, our raffle income helped pay for over $900 worth of expenses for the championship show.

Even though all shows are open to the public, the CEA's End-Of-Year points system is reserved for CEA members in good standing.  There are several membership packages available which include Individual, Family, Voting and Lifetime memberships.  Membership dues help support the CEA's endeavors to provide safe and friendly competitions which in turn help support the communities in which they are held as well as further the CEA's purpose.  In addition, a portion of every membership directly supports the CEA's youth scholarship program which is paid out annually.  Membership benefits include discounts on gate fees at CEA hosted shows and clinics.  Our membership application is available in the Printable Stuff section. 

CEA membership renewals are due on or before the Championship Show in October of each year.  There is NO grace period and points will not be back-dated if you forget to renew.

Remember, if you need directions on how to get to any of the CEA recognized shows, events or clinics, which again are ALL OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, please see the Driving Directions link on the left or contact Nancy or Ellen for specifics. 

We wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year, and good luck in your show season.  We hope to see each and every one of you at our shows, clinics, the Championship Show and the Year-End Banquet.
