Diablo Arabian Horse Association

The first DAHA Show held in 1970 was a small benefit event put on by long time club member Colleen (Coke) Swift and the late Charlene Harmon. The show grew considerably the next year and a great tradition was underway. In 1971, Bud Soltau was our President and ringmaster. Ben Rabba++/ was crowned Champion Stallion. The show remained in Antioch at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds along with the stock car racing and circus events through 1976. In 1977, an ever-increasing entry list forced DAHA to move the show to the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo, where it remained through 1993.  For the next 5 years the show was held at Robertson Park in Livermore, but again size and logistics forced the show back to Solano County Fairgrounds. Finally in 2002 the show found its perfect home at Brookside Equestrian Park in Elk Grove. Thanks to the vision of Mark Schuerman, Dr. Cory Soltau and Pam Jimenez the show had found its forever home!!!
