AHA has two programs designed for dressage enthusiasts who are showing the Arabian and Half-Arabian/Anglo-Arabian breed in the Open circuit. These awards and programs are designed to honor horses and riders.
Fee Summary:
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.
