Important message from the board of AHA
Arabian Horse Association
Official Policy Statement
AHA Animal Welfare & Membership Policy
At the heart of the Arabian horse community is a deep and abiding bond between people and horses. That relationship carries with it a profound responsibility, one the AHA Board of Directors takes seriously.
AHA membership is a privilege, and it must reflect the values we hold as a community. The Board has adopted the following policy to make clear that those who fail to uphold the basic standards of animal care and welfare have no place in our organization.

A huge congratulations to Ashley on her Half Lease of Arctikh Fame JJM! ๐
We are so excited to watch this partnership grow and see all the memories, milestones, and confidence that will come from time spent together in and out of the saddle.
One of the most rewarding parts of our program is helping riders build meaningful connections with horses through opportunities like our lease program. Whether your goals are showing, improving your riding, or simply spending more time with a horse you love, leasing can be such a special next step in your equestrian journey. ๐ดโจ
We canโt wait to see what the future holds for Ashley and Arti!
