AHA Video Corner
This is an oldie but a goodie! We looked back in our video archives and pulled the Arabian Horse Industry Breeder Stories videos where influential breeders in our industry tell some of their most memorable breeding tales!

In February we will be back with a fresh, new AHA Insider video!


What's The Buzz
Read the monthly dish in the Arabian horse industry.

Another celebrity welcomed an Arabian horse into their home as a holiday present! Comedian Bill Engvall gave his wife an Arabian horse for Christmas and we couldn't be happier for her!

Atanas Siakolov

I have been a Java Programmer at the Business Development Department at AHA for a little more than 3 months now. I absolutely love my job as I get to play with code and solve riddles on a daily bases.

I moved from Sofia, Bulgaria, to Mount Vernon, Iowa, to study Computer Science at Cornell College. While there I also majored in Economics and Business.

In my free time I like staying active by going to the gym, hiking or disc golfing.

Discovery Farm Program Going to a New Format

The Discovery Farm program is going to a new format. Any Discovery Farm that signs up AFTER January 1, 2017, will have a yearly renewal fee of $30 to stay as a current Discovery F
arm. Any Discovery Farm signed up previously, will be grandfathered in and will not have to pay the renewal fee. The renewal fee will be used to support and promote the program and will benefit the Discovery Farms listed on the AHA Get Local map located on the AHA website. If at any point, you no longer wish to have your Discovery Farm information on the Arabian Horse Association's (AHA) website, please contact AHA at 303.696.4500 or email us at discoveryfarm@arabianhorses.org.





If you would like to share what your Discovery Farm is doing to spread the word about the breed, have a fun story or would like to know more about the program, email DiscoveryFarm@arabianhorses.org or visit www.arabianhorses.org/discoveryfarms
