Loomis Basin Horsemen's Association (LBHA) founded in 1984 is a non-profit 501(C)3 information and awareness group dedicated to local trails, Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve, Loomis Basin Arena, and preservation of the rural lifestyle. A small yearly membership fee ensures that the arena and Traylor Ranch will remain here for the local horse community and future generations.
