Welcome to the Region XII Website!

Region XII members, Arabian horse lovers, as well as horse enthusiasts of every persuasion, and web browsers are all encouraged to familiarize themselves with this site.

At thirty great years and counting, Region XII is proud of its history and of the part it plays in the larger Arabian industry. It encompasses the largest geographic region in AHA, ranging down the eastern coast from North Carolina to Florida and from Tennessee to Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. Region XII also hosts several of the premier Arabian showcases in the nation, including an early May Regional.

Taking place in Perry, Georgia (just below Atlanta), the Regional Show is one of the best-run venues for showcasing Arabians and Arabian derivatives (Half-Arabians and Anglo-Arabians); the show is exceptionally exhibitor friendly and welcomes owners, trainers, and horses from all over the United States and abroad.

Region XII also sponsors a week-long Youth Jamboree in July of each year. As the name indicates, only juniors are allowed to compete: this show includes handling, seminars, judging competitions, as well as a variety of other educational and fun activities. The week concludes with a JTR Class A Show.

In conjunction with its emphasis on youth, Region XII offers two scholarships each year to deserving young horsemen.

Beginning in 2007, Region XII will be sponsoring a Region XII Endurance Challenge which is open to any AHA member who is also a member of Region XII.

Finally, Region XII sponsors championships for Working Hunter and Working Cow Horses in various areas of the region.

The purpose of the Region XII Website is multifold: (1) for Region XII members, the website will provide easy access to area activities and business affairs; (2) for Arab owners, breeders, and trainers, the site will provide access to show schedules, prize lists, and futurity forms and information; (3) for horsemen of every persuasion, the Region XII Forum will provide an introduction to the Arabian horse and to the array of activities available to those who own these magnificent animals.
