AHA Region XII 2007 Endurance Challenge
In an effort to induce the Arabian / Half-Arabian Endurance community to join and participate in the organization which protects and governs the heritage of the very horses that they ride, Region XII of the Arabian Horse Association is presenting the following challenge to the Arabian / Half-Arabian Endurance community.
Join an AHA Region XII “local” club as a “Competition” member, ride a registered Arabian / Half-Arabian in a Endurance Ride (LD’s included) in three (3) Region XII states (AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, TN,) and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Bronze Level Polo Shirt. Ride in four (4) states and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Silver Level Jacket. Ride in five (5) states and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Gold Level Fly Sheet. Ride in six states and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Platinum Level Rain Sheet. A Region XII Endurance Challenge Championship Blanket will be awarded to the rider with the highest mileage occurring within the region, which has ridden in at least five (5) states. There will be one high mileage award for endurance and one high mileage award for limited distance. The miles track with the rider. Sound easy? That is how it should sound. This is Region XII’s way of asking for your support in promoting Arabian / Half-Arabian horses as the world’s most lovable, and versatile breed. QUESTIONS: Call Eric Reuter 865.599.3594 ( eric@rueterconsultinginc.com) or Cheryl Van Deusen 386.566.4820 (cvandeusen@gmail.com) for more information or R12endurance@gmail.com
The Arabian / Half-Arabian Endurance community has complained long and hard that AHA does not do anything for them. Well now is your chance! Become an AHA member through your local AHA affiliate club, load up your horse and RIDE! There will be local club AHA membership forms available or you can join through Arabian Distance Riders Club (AHA # 12277) by filling out a form or joining on line through www.arabianhorses.org – a one year membership costs $45 for adults, $20 for juniors.
Official Rules:
