A Note from your Director
To say that this has been a strange year is an understatement. With Covid our shows and meetings have a been canceled. Our state then caught on fire and several of our stables and farms had to be evacuated. One of the stables received horses from their friends, then they had to evacuate their stable along with the evacuees that were there. They got the horses evacuated then that stable had to be evacuated. Now I am talking about approximately sixty horses. Kira Millard and Amy Pike along with Facebook got many people that they didn’t know to come to help with trucks and trailers. It took all night to get the horses safe.
One major training stable was in the line of another fire. The trainers were in Las Vegas at a show, and over sixty horses at their farm needed to be evacuated. There was a line of trucks and trailers waiting for the notice to evacuate. When it came, again, Kira Millard and Amy Pike went into action. All the horses were moved safe and sound.
Then we had a major breeding farm was in the line of a fire. There was mares, babies and young horses that needed to be evacuated. Kira and Amy went into action - all horses were safely moved. We would like to thank each and everyone involved however, the word for help went out over Facebook and a great many people just showed up anonymously.
Special thanks go out to Melissa Shaver, Jim Spence, Jim Garrison, Jack Root, Wilco Farmers Coop, Washington County and a great many more. The list is absolutely amazing. It is wonderful how we can forget about our own problems and the political turmoil and work to save the animals we all love. I know I have not mentioned everyone and I do apologize and you have my sincere thanks for a job well done. Special thanks to Kira Millard and Amy Pike.
On another note we need to thank Barb Garcia for being our regional treasurer for many many years. Thank you Cassie Richard, for stepping up and taking over the duties of regional secretary and also Connie Chapman for being our regional show treasurer. The regional show commission needs to be thanked they worked to reschedule the regional show however the smoke from the fires was deemed to be hazardous to work after breathing it for several days and it was then cancelled. We look forward to having a great show in 2021.
I would like to congratulate Barb Garcia and Dawn Gossler on being named the AHA Region 4 volunteer service award winners. Thank you for your years of service to the success of Region 4.
-Chris Bickford
Region 4 AHA Director

A big thank you to Laura Mickelson for her years of posting info on Region 10 horses and riders who receive Top 10’s, championships and reserves at the various AHA National shows. Most recently the AHA Sport Horse Nationals where some very nice Region 10 horses and riders were successful. Check out our Facebook page (Region 10 Arabian Horse Association) to see this information Laura gathers and posts on a daily basis during the competitions. Thank you, Laura!!!
We were able to hold only a small number of USEF and/or AHA approved competitions in 2020, due to the various aspects of COVID-19. Between state mandates on the number of people who could gather, USEF regulations, and state/county facilities being closed to any events, it was a very different summer. We are now going into Fall with a number of state parks in MN and WI having designated horse riding trails. Time for trail riding and enjoying the beautiful Fall colors!

September finally brought two Arabian shows to Region 13. The West Michigan AHA successfully held their annual Fall Classic show over Labor Day weekend. It was a great success and everyone had a wonderful time showing their horses and enjoying visiting with their friends. The annual Corn Roast and Dog Races were great fun as always. Congratulations to all. The last weekend of the month brought a new show to the Region. The Dunes Arabian Horse Alliance held their first Fall Festival All Breed Open Show in LaPorte, IN. Lots of fun classes, added money and payback classes, high point awards and a progressive barn party were just some of the fun. So glad to see this show happening. Congrats! Congratulations to all the exhibitors returning from The Sport Horse National Championships! We hope everyone made many new friends and accumulated lots of wonderful memories.
The calendar is beginning to take shape for 2021. We are really looking forward to having some great shows within Region 13. There will also be several shows throughout the Country that will be qualifying exhibitors and their horses for the Region 13 Championship shows. Check out the calendar or the Region 13 website for shows and dates from which to choose.
Dates of the Region 13 Championship shows, both which will be held at The World Equestrian Center, in Wilmington, Ohio are:
June 17-19, 2021 Region XIII Offsite Sport Horse and Dressage Championship show
June 23-27, 2021 Region XIII Championship Show
All of us in Region 13 would like to wish everyone heading to the U.S. National Championships safe travels, much fun, great memories and huge successes! We will be cheering you on!

Mission Statement:
To bring representatives from each AHA Region together to collaborate and execute plans to reach the following goals:
First, introduce new people to the Arabian horse through first-touch programs such as TAIL Tours,
Meet an Arabian Horse Days, farm tours and similar others.
Second to convert those first-touch event attendees to the next step of joining a lesson program, volunteering
at a local barn or other engagement with Arabian horses. And last, to encourage ownership and/or lease
of an Arabian horse and continuation of the attendees interaction with Arabians. Visit our page and join us!
