We as a group of independent Horsemen and Horsewomen, are ready to establish a true representative organization dedicated to serving the more than 6,500 owners and trainers in Florida.
We are currently in the process of affiliating with the National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (NHBPA) to become an affiliate. The NHBPA was established in 1940 and represents approximately 30,000 owners and trainers, and has representation in 28 jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. The SFHBPA, once established, will be committed to working for the betterment of racing at all levels and advocate for the rights of horsemen and horsewomen.
We are committed to the National HBPA motto: "Horsemen Helping Horsemen".
By filling out the following form, you can appoint the forming entity of the South Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association to act as your sole and exclusive representative to negotiate and execute, or refuse to execute, any agreements with the Thoroughbred racetracks in the State of Florida concerning the racing of Thoroughbred horses.
Together, we are building a stronger future for racing in South Florida.
