The Distance Horse National Championships is the overhead titled event, hosted by AHA, which includes partnered Breed National Championships along with Iron Mountain Jubilee Open Rides. Our partnered breeds are Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC), Paso Fino Horse Association (PFHA), Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry (PShR), American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA), Akhal-Teke Association of America (ATAA) and the American Saddlebred Horse & Breeders Association (ASHBA.)

 

Along with the Breed National Championships we also offer Open Iron Mountain Jubilee 40 Mile Competitive Trail Ride recognized by AHA. We will also be holding Open Iron Mountain Jubilee Limited Distance Ride, Open 50 Mile Endurance Rides and an Open 100 Mile Endurance Ride which is sanctioned by American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC), Southeast Endurance Ride Association (SERA) and AHA.

 

We also offer a Limited Distance Challenge which is the same horse/rider combination entered in all three Open Iron Mountain Jubilee Limited Distance Rides; rules and information can be found under the Rider Information tab. All Iron Mountain Jubilee Rides are open to all equines and have no qualifications or membership requirements!
