ANNOUNCEMENTS


​1/28/2024  ​The members at the January 2024 annual meeting reviewed the Arabian Type (AT) division approved in 2022 on a 2-year trial basis. The division is gaining support and will be renewed again for two more years with another review in 2026. The goal is to increase AHDRA membership by supporting and celebrating those horses of Arabian heritage who are not registered with AHA.
  • The AT division is for horses not registered with AHA who are of at least 25% Arabian descent, by documentation submitted to and approved by the BOD.
  • Further details on documentation can be found here.
  • After you have presented your documentation, the BOD will review it and respond within approximately 15 days. If accepted, we will add your AT horse to our Nominated Horse file so your points can accrue towards year-end awards.

ABOUT AHDRA

AHDRA began in 1978 with a pool of people wanting to promote the Arabian in distance riding.  Since then we have expanded our membership nationwide, annually sent delegates to the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) convention and sponsored numerous rides and Year-End Awards every year. 

We have always been proud of our horses, who continue to serve us and have gone on to World Championships.  We have a trophy listing a multitude of exceptional horses who have traveled through the endurance world since 1973.
