IAHA registers two separate breeds that are offshoots of the purebred Arabian horse. The Anglo-Arabian is a mix of Arabian and Thoroughbred blood. There's also an array of informational and educational literature and videos available to members. You may join IAHA either directly or through one of its 278 affiliate clubs across North America. The association can put you in touch with an Arabian horse club that's close to you.
Clubs are great for providing a network of professional and social contacts.
Most members enjoy the simple pleasures of spending time with their horses and trail riding with friends. Seventy percent of IAHA members compete as adult amateurs because of the excitement of showing their own horses and the family involvement surrounding horse shows. You can contact the IAHA by mail at P.O. Box 33696, Denver, CO 80233-0696.
