Best of luck to all the Region 13 riders, trainers and owners competing at the U.S. Arabian and Half Arabian National Championships. Here’s hoping for lots of maroon ribbons and roses! Enjoy the ride and cheers to making wonderful memories, enjoying our amazing Arabian horses and spending time with old and new friends alike. Make sure to keep us up to date. Send photos! (with masks ;). We wish we could be there to cheer you all on, but we will be watching and rooting for you from home. Wishing good luck to all the great exhibitors from around the Country, who “braved” this show year and attended and showed at Region 13.
The AHA Convention is going virtual this year. If you are an AHA member, you can register as a guest and watch all the happenings. There are a limited number of spots available. Please go to the AHA website for more information and costs.
The Region lost a great friend, long time breeder, owner of Ka Tal Pa Arabians and Arabian horseman, Dr. James Budd of Mason, MI. “Doc” will be deeply missed. He loved coming to the shows enjoying time with friends and family. Condolences to Ann Louise, Mike and Terri, Dalton and Wyatt, Marta and the entire Budd family.

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
