IAHA & the internet club

[Lif Strand <fasterhorses@gilanet.com>]

OK gang - the internet IAHA (International Arabian Horse Association)
club is Insallah.  The web page for it is
http://insallah-arab.tripod.com

I am the endurance chair for that club.  My first job
is to write a statement of goals and activities for the endurance
committee.  I'm looking for ideas from you guys!  Here's what I
think IAHA should be concerned with, as far as endurance goes:

1)  Promotion of distance riding in general and endurance riding
specifically as the "original" and perhaps best use for Arabian
horses.

2)  Improving the recognition/award system for distance/endurance
riding, especially through support of rides themselves (not only IAHA
rides!).  Making the awards program really exciting.

3)  (This is actually a negative idea, I'd like to figure out better
wording) - Acknowledgeing that showing is not the only way to advance the
breed.  (Maybe this is actually part of #1?)

Any other ideas?
