Program Updates

 

The Performance Futurity/Maturity Program for Sport Horse Nationals and U.S. Nationals requires enrollment into the program in order for the horse to be eligible to show in these classes (see Chapter 20 of the AHA Handbook for enrollment dates).  Nominations are allowed with an additional $750 and $1,000 late fee for Reining Futurity/Maturity/Derby up until the Final Post Entry Close date for that National Show and any Program enrollment fees (including late fees) must be paid.

 

Due to the increasing participation of the Ranch Horse Riding Futurity at U.S. Nationals, the class has been split.  Beginning in 2023, there will be two classes, Arabian Ranch Horse Riding Futurity and HA/AA Ranch Horse Riding Futurity.

 

Note:  Half-Arabians competing in the Maturity Classes must have parentage DNA verified to the purebred Arabian parent on file at the AHA office before they are allowed to compete.

DNA Parentage Requirement

 

All Half-Arabians participating in the Halter Futurity Program, Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby Program and the Performance Maturity Program at Canadian Nationals, Sport Horse Nationals and U.S. Nationals will require DNA testing. DNA type of the horse and the horse's Purebred Arabian parent must be placed on permanent record with the AHA Registry and the horse has been shown to qualify as an offspring of the stated purebred sire or purebred dam through DNA type testing. DNA testing will be at the owner's expense and must be on file with the AHA office before the horse will be eligible to compete. If the DNA is not on file at that time, the horse is ineligible to be shown and all nomination fees will be forfeited.
