Find your AHA moment during #MeetAnArabianHorse Month
At the Arabian Horse Association, we believe in finding your AHA moment. That’s why we stand by sharing the joy of Arabian horses with as many people as possible. With Meet an Arabian Horse Month, introducing the Arabian horse is easy! Participate in 30 days of positive Arabian horse interaction as we share virtual challenges, Arabian horse stories, and resources so you can grow closer to the world’s most versatile breed.
The program's goal is simple-make people feel comfortable and welcome and they'll want more of the Arabian horse. T.A.I.L. has the potential to benefit all facets of the Arabian horse industry. The program helps to put a friendly face on our organization, but also gives trainers and breeders a chance to meet prospective new owners. After the T.A.I.L. experience is over, kids and parents want to know where they can find riding lessons!
If you own Arabian horses and want to share your passion for the Arabian breed with newcomers, sign up to become a Discovery Farm and share your knowledge about the Arabian horse with interested visitors of all ages and equine backgrounds. AHA will assist you by providing promotional literature to help promote the breed to your farm visitors. The only requirement to become a discovery farm is an active AHA membership and a willingness to introduce newcomers to your Arabian horses.
Our literacy program aims to ignite a passion and a spark for reading, with a special twist - HORSES. Children who struggle to find fun in reading by themselves can find that special spark by reading to a horse. In our program, the children will be invited to visit an Arabian horse farm, and read to, and with horses. In addition to the literacy piece, the children will learn more about horses in a safe, controlled environment and spend some time with the oldest and most magical breed, an Arabian horse.
An Airbnb Experience gives travelers an opportunity to book a unique and niche experience they cannot find anywhere else. A Booking.com study of 20,500 global travelers revealed that 62 percent of travelers want to experience new cultures, 52 percent want to taste local cuisines and 33 percent want to embrace meeting new people.
