OVAHA Recreational Riding Program

get PDF version

This program provides recognition for OVAHA members who dedicate their time to the Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian breeds doing what they do best, spending time with their horses. This is not a show ring or competition program and there is NO CHARGE TO ENROLL. It is provided to reward OVAHA members for those everyday rides and workouts we take on our show horses or backyard companions.

Here's how it works: You keep a log of hours spent riding or driving your horse. At the 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 750, and 1000. hour levels you receive special OVAHA Recreational Riding program awards.


There is also a National Rider Recognition Program provided by AHA.
Information is available here.
