AHA Regional & National Championship Rides
Many AHA regions host Regional championships for both endurance and competitive trail and AHA produces the National Championship Competitive Trail Ride, 50-Mile Endurance Ride and 100-Mile Endurance Ride. These championship rides are beneficiaries of the Arabian Breeders Sweepstakes program, which pays prize money to any Breeders Sweepstakes- enrolled horse that makes the Top Five at a Regional or Top Ten at a National Championship.
Look up AHA Regional Rides being held this year on the AHA Calendar.
