The Georgia Federation of Saddle Clubs is a non-profit Equestrian Club. The members of the Federation compete in Judged (Performance) and Timed (Running) events.
There are ten associations in Georgia that form the Federation. Each Association is comprised of local clubs that compete within their own groups throughout the running year for points. The top six point earners in each age and event represent their association on the state level.
The state competition is held at the Reaves Arena, Georgia National Fairgrounds, in Perry, and is hosted on a rotating basis by the nine Associations.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO
GEORGIA MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION
ON AN AWESOME 2020 STATE SHOW
The Opening Ceremony with the Drill Team was Outstanding. The patriotism along with the beautiful riders and horses, the horsemanship, and the large and numerous American Flags set the tone for the entire weekend. There were some tears in the crowd as all were touched. The Veteran Speaker was dynamic. If anyone missed it, they surely missed a lot.
The show ran smooth and any concerns were hit head on by the GMASC. Positive comments were everywhere.
Recognition of Gene Nix and his participation and contributions to the Federation for the past 50+ years was well deserved. It was also good to see him compete again - and we figure again next year as well.
I would like to thank the Federation for the gift and recognition of my service for the past 23 years. It has truly been a fun ride, a great time, so many wonderful memories. I am so blessed to have been given this opportunity and to have met so many wonderful people over the years. I have made so many friends thru this journey and treasure each one. God has truly blessed me.
Love each and every one,
Cheryl Powell
PS - I am sure glad I don't have to come behind GMASC and HOST next year, big shoes to fill. I may have to sneak around and see if I can help Flint River some (well, maybe)
Upcoming Board of Directors meeting set for Sunday, November 8th. Georgia Mountain will pass the gavel to Flint River for the 2021 State Show. More updates will follow after that meeting.
