REGION XII YOUTH
Join.
Join our community of like-minded horse lovers! If you are here to ride for the roses, improve your horsemanship, or just love the Arabian horse we have a place for you in the Arabian Horse Youth Association. AHYA is for youth 18 and under, with a variety of programs for anyone who loves the Arabian horse.
Discover.
If you’ve never encountered an Arabian horse up close, start your adventure by visiting a Discovery Farm. This unique program offers you the opportunity to explore Arabian horses at farms where knowledgeable owners are delighted to introduce you to their horses and answer questions in a relaxed, no-pressure, non-sales atmosphere. You’ll learn all about the breed characteristics, and gain first-hand knowledge of what makes this breed truly special. There are hundreds of Discovery Farms across the country and you can easily locate several near you.

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 that 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, and in Arabian Horse Life magazine.
Region 12 is interested in creating Youth Teams!
