AHA Region XII2007 Endurance Challenge
In an effort to induce the Arabian / Half-Arabian Endurance community to join
and participate in the organization which protects and governs the heritage of
the very horses that they ride, Region XII of the Arabian Horse Association is
presenting the following challenge to the Arabian / Half-Arabian Endurance
community.
Join an AHA Region XII ?local? club as a ?Competition? member, ride a
registered Arabian / Half-Arabian in a Endurance Ride (LD?s included) in three
(3) Region XII states (AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, SC, TN,) and receive a Region XII
Endurance Challenge Bronze Level Polo Shirt. Ride in four (4) states and
receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Silver Level Jacket. Ride in five
(5) states and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge Gold Level Fly
Sheet. Ride in six states and receive a Region XII Endurance Challenge
Platinum Level Rain Sheet. A Region XII Endurance Challenge Championship
Blanket will be awarded to the rider with the highest mileage occurring within
the region, which has ridden in at least five (5) states. There will be
one high mileage award for endurance and one high mileage award for limited
distance. The miles track with the rider. Sound easy? That is
how it should sound. This is Region XII?s way of asking for your support
in promoting Arabian / Half-Arabian horses as the world?s most lovable, and
versatile breed. QUESTIONS: Call Eric Rueter 865.599.3594 ( eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or
