AHA has three recognition awards that AHA members can choose from to nominate their Arabian and/or Half-Arabian/Anglo-Arabian horses to recognize and honor their achievement outside of AHA and representing the breed in the community. Horses nominated by the September 15th deadline are chosen by the Awards Committee at the Annual Convention each year.
