AHA has two award programs designed to honor AHA members who show their Arabian and/or Half-Arabian/Anglo-Arabians in dressage and western dressage at AHA shows or in the Open USEF/USDF/WDAA circuit.

Fee Summary:

• USDF All-Breed Awards/horse/year:
• Within 30 days of first competition - $50
• After 30 days of first competition - $65
• Dressage Rider Award program per level - $60

Dressage/Western Dressage Rider Award

From Basic/Training through Fourth level, earn certificates or lapel pins, depending on your level of competition. After the initial enrollment, riders are eligible for an award once they earn two or more scores of 60 percent or better from two separate rides and two different judges. Only scores earned after enrollment are counted. The show secretary reports scores earned at AHA-recognized shows while riders report their scores from Open shows on the official Open Show Report Form.

Enrollment requires a one time $55 fee per level of competition.  Scores are accumulative and do not need to be earned in the same year.  The rider must have an AHA Membership with Competition Card to enroll in the program and have results recorded.

USDF All Breed Dressage Award

The United States Dressage Federation and the Arabian Horse Association have teamed up for the Dressage All Breeds Awards. Scores earned through USDF/AHA Recognized Shows or through USDF Open Shows can count toward the USDF All Breeds Awards. To be considered for this award, horses must be enrolled with AHA, prior to September 1. Any enrollments postmarked or electronic transaction dated after August 31 will be processed for the upcoming award year. Top horses will receive a certificate and other recognition.

Enrollment is just $50 if received before the first competition and $65 if submitted 30 days after the first event. The recorded owner of the horse must be a current Member of AHA. Your horse MUST be enrolled with USDF (along with the applicable fee) in order to participate in the All-Breeds program. Please contact the United States Dressage Federation for additional award requirements.
