Competition management may fine any individuals including trainers, owners, exhibitors, or their agents up to $100 plus cleanup costs for improper disposal of needles or other sharp disposable instruments. Competition management will place a notice of this requirement either in its prize list or on a specific handout given to trainers on check in at the competition.

GROUP STABLING

Exhibitors wishing to be stabled together must send entries together in the same envelope with a stall reservation form listing all the owner names. This form must be sent with the entries, as stalls are assigned using this form. If your name does not appear on the Stabling Request Form – we cannot guarantee you will be with the group.

Please submit only one form per group to be stabled together. Forms received after the due date on the form may not be honored. Please check each show and form for the due date for that show. All horses that are not entered into the show (non-competing) must be listed on the stall form.

Every horse is required to be stabled on the show grounds at least 12 hours before the start of the first class in which it is to be shown and must remain continuously on the show grounds until it has completed every class in which it is to be shown.

If the number of horses entered by a trainer or owner exceeds the capacity of the original stalls requested, those horses will be stabled in the order of space available at the time the entry is received.

1. ASSIGNMENT / AVAILABILITY

Check each show as to when stalls will be available. Please note that patronships must represent one entity ONLY, and all stalls assigned to any one patron must be designated under a single name (a company, a farm, training stable, an individual, and a family are all considered single entity). Additional stalls requested after the original stalls are purchased may not be assigned in the same location as the original stalls.

Exhibitors will be billed for any alteration/damage to their stalls on the premises to or any required cleanup of any stalls they use.

3. HORSE STALLS

Each entered horse must pay for one stall, all others are considered tack stalls. No subletting of stalls will be allowed.

Stalls for any non-competing horses must have an official entry form on file with the show office and be listed on the stall request form.

4. TACK STALLS

If you are ordering just tack stalls, Please do not list them only on the stall reservation form or they may be missed. Please use an entry form leaving the horse information blank.

Tack stalls will be assigned subject to their availability. Exhibitors will be allowed to order tack stalls per the individual National Show’s policy. Management reserves the right to limit the number of total tack stalls due to availability. Tack stalls that are cancelled by show management will be refunded to the exhibitor.

APAHA PREAMBLE

We, as Professional and Amateur Horsemen of the Arabian Horse Association, pledge to assume a positive role as leaders in the Arabian horse community. While achieving the goals of promoting, showing, and caring for the horse, we shall protect the health, image, and welfare of the breed.

Therefore, we set forth the following standards:

HORSEMEN’S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

We shall comply with and actively encourage all Professional and Amateur Horsemen to adhere to all rules and regulations of AHA, USEF, CAHR, and EC.

We shall instill confidence, trust, and mutual respect in our clients, fellow exhibitors, and the public by a commitment to ethical practice and avoidance of any action conducive to discrediting the Arabian horse, AHA, or our fellow horsemen.

We shall ensure that the welfare of the Arabian horse is paramount and that every Arabian horse be treated humanely and with dignity, respect, and compassion.

As Horsemen we agree that it is our obligation, not only to the horse, but to each other, to have a reciprocal relationship wherein we are compelled to comment to our peers on their actions as well as be receptive of comments on our actions, if those actions might be perceived or interpreted as abusive or inappropriate.

There should be no malicious force during training. Good horsemanship teaches a horse to respond to the aids with confidence. Abusive practices are those that inflict injury or result in intimidation and fear. This may include jerking, spurring, or whipping when employed in a manner that increases a horse’s fear, confusion, or distress.

While most types of tack and training methods are not themselves abusive, we understand

that anything used wrongly, overused, or over done can prove to be abusive or perceived to be abusive by onlookers.

The duration of training sessions should take into account climate conditions, intensity of work, footing and the condition of each horse to ensure there is no undue stress.

We shall conduct all business affairs with integrity, sincerity, and accuracy in an open and forthright manner.

We shall act with integrity in financial dealings with clients, professionals, and the public. We shall employ a policy of full disclosure to our horse’s owners, as well as potential buyers, about all facts and knowledge regarding a horse they own or are considering purchasing.

Horsemen will never perform, condone, or allow surgical alteration or procedure on an Arabian horse unless professionally prescribed by a licensed veterinarian, and then, only for the survival or threatened health of an Arabian or Half-Arabian horse. This includes the altering of the natural carriage of the tail, which is one of our breed standards and characteristics.

Horsemen will not administer to any horse engaged in competition drugs or medications that give an unfair competitive advantage or serve no required therapeutic purpose.

2023 CANADIAN HALTER FUTURITY CLASSES

Due to the postponement of the 2023 Canadian National Championship Show, the AHA Futurity Commission in conjunction with the Canadian and U.S. National Show Commissions have made the decision to hold the 2023 Canadian Halter Futurity Classes at the 2023 U.S. National Championship Show in Tulsa, OK. These classes will be held separate from the U.S. National Halter Futurity Classes and will be adjudicated by a separate panel of judges.

Once “The Oil Capital of the World,” T-Town is now in rich with resources like countless outdoor and indoor attractions enjoyed by any age including Gathering Place and Greenwood Rising Black Wall St. History Center, a world-class music scene including the Bob Dylan Center®️ and The Church Studio and a delicious dining scene.

2. Entry into the corresponding Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby class at U.S. Nationals

3. All Half-Arabians competing in the Futurity/Maturity/Derby Classes must have parentage DNA verified to a purebred Arabian parent on file at the AHA office in order to be eligible to compete in the class.

Owners wishing to compete in this program must enroll in the program either by making payments or one lump sum.

If enrollment is made in payments, the 2023 due dates are:

• June 1 st

• July 1 st

Late fees apply for any missed due dates. Enrollments postmarked/electronic transaction dated after August 1, 2023 assessed a $750 late fee ($1,000 for reining).

Class intent must be declared at the time of enrollment into the program

(Example: I intend to compete in the Western Pleasure Maturity AAOTR).

If you determine at a later date that your horse is better suited to another discipline, you may change the class intent with a class change fee.

(Example: I signed up for Western but it turns out my horse is better suited for Hunter). Change of class fee may apply.

In addition to the program enrollment, you must enter into the Performance Futurity/Maturity Class at U.S. Nationals on an official entry form or online at the AHA website by the date of entry close. If you do not enter the show or program, a late fee(s) will be assessed.
