Discover the Joy
of Drafts, Mules, and Everything in Between

Experiencing draft horses, mules, and equipment is an eye-opener for the young to the gracefully aging. But a very rare opportunity for a lot to witness. From mowing, raking, and stacking hay, dragging logs, spreading manure, plowing, and pulling heavy loads; to carriage rides, shows, and petting zoos. There is a wide array of jobs for these gentle giants. We are as an association trying to open more windows and barn doors to share this lifestyle with others. We want to educate, encourage, and grow our community!

know us

The Nebraska Draft Horse and Mule Association (NDHMA) was founded in 1968 and was formed to serve draft horse and mule owners in Nebraska, enthusiasts, and further the education and knowledge to others. No matter what your level of involvement with horses is, NDHMA is a great place for you! You don’t have to own a horse or mule to be a part of the association, you just have to enjoy them!
