The
SPORT HORSE movement is the most exciting new way to
enjoy your horse that has come along in over a
decade. Designed for the amateur
owner/handler, it is spreading across the United
States at an incredible pace. Already being
added to numerous class A shows. In 2003, the
AHA organization sponsored the first Sport Horse
National Show for the Arabian and Part-bred Arabian
horse breed.
Best of all, the
manner in which the SPORT HORSE is shown is not
limited by breed. Although this clinic is
sponsored by an Arabian breed organization, it will
prepare you for showing in numerous breed and SPORT
HORSE shows. Judges for these shows are FEI
judges, and not breed judges.
