This year's theme for Youth Nationals is VINTAGE Your Way! Hope you have fun making this theme your own! #ahaYNL17
What Does The Arabian Horse Mean To You?
The Arabian Horse Association (AHA) asked YOU to tell us what the Arabian horse meant to you. Over a two day period, individuals posted on our Facebook and Instagram accounts and told us in one word or small phrase, what their Arabian horse stood for. We then took all of the words and made a word cloud (an image composed of words used in a particular text or subject, in which the size of each word indicates its frequency or importance). Inspired by the word cloud and what it stands for, AHA will be launching a NEW membership campaign focusing on YOUR responses. Make sure to stay tuned!
Scholarships
The Arabian Horse Foundation and numerous Arabian Horse Association (AHA) clubs offer a wide array of scholarships to AHA members. We want to help our outstanding youth find scholarship opportunities on the AHA website as well as submit the general Arabian Horse Foundation application by April 1.

AHYA is working to find a new way to encourage youth to participate on the AHYA Board of Directors. At convention it was discussed that we are trying to fund a scholarship program for those individuals that are serving on the board. The idea behind these scholarships, is to encourage the youth to participate and have an active role in AHYA, as well as develop them as future leaders.
With the right funding, we would like to award a $1,000 scholarship to each Regional Director. We are hoping to start this scholarship fund with $22,000.
So far we have raised $7,700. Please consider your region donating to this scholarship fund. We would like you to join us in providing opportunities to reward those outstanding youth members who are the future of our breed.
Issue 1 will hit mailboxes before the end of the month!
USEquestrian Lettering Program
Interested in lettering as a high school athlete? Have horses always taken up all your time, so you have never been able to commit to volleyball or football, soccer or tennis? Well Equestrians are athletes too and the USEquestrian has a letter program catered to those Equestrian Athletes that spend their time at the barn instead of in the gym or on the sports field. If you are interested, check out the program here and see what USEquestrian has to offer.
