AHA gives plenty of support for the Discovery Farm program.  I also signed
up for it and people who stop by the AHA website are given my name as a
place to visit and I'm sent an email from AHA stating that this person has
expressed interest.  I am then given their name and contact info, size of
their group and when they hope to come visit.  If they don't contact me on
their own, I contact them and have met many newcomers to the breed this way.
AHA not only sent me the sign, they sent me tons of brochures and pamphlets
about the Arabian to hand out.  How much more do you want them to do?
Shuttle people to your door?  Maybe you're just in an area that doesn't have
any interest in Arabians and that's why you've never received any response
and it's not AHA's fault at all.

Just something to think about

In my experience (22 year worth) most endurance riders are great people who
will go out their way to help and be friendly.
