Regional Youth Team Tournament
Want to earn points and win prizes with your friends, or make new friends through showing and riding? The Regional Youth Team Tournament offers youth the opportunity to form teams which work together to earn points. These points, earned from both recognized and non-recognized shows and rides, lead to great year-end awards for the high scoring teams. In addition to these awards, winners are posted on the AHA youth webpage. Learn more here.
Achievement Awards
Both you and your horse can earn recognition through the AHA Achievement Awards programs. Once you sign up, amateur rider and horse points are tracked automatically throughout the year every time you compete in AHA shows/rides and some open events.
The Amateur Achievement Awards program assigns points to individual riders, handlers and drivers. Riders don't have to own the horse they compete with since these program tracks riders only. Horses can earn Achievement Awards points and have permanent symbols added to their name, signifying honor and prestige. There are six different levels that could leave your horse a legacy.
