The Australian Arabian Sporthorse Association Incorporated
Arabian Sporthorse of the Year Awards
The Arabian Sporthorse of the Year and The Arabian Sporthorse Lifetime Achievement Awards will open from the 1st August 2018
Not just for Sporthorse events!!
Compete Australia wide in a variety of disciplines! The Arabian Sporthorse of the Year (HOTY) and The Arabian Sporthorse Lifetime Achievement Awards support Arabian horses competing in multiple disciplines across Australia!
Horses can apply for a variety of categories and collect points throughout the year for HOTY awards, and accumulate points year to year for Lifetime Achievement Awards. The categories will be developed and sections can be split dependent on entries received. There will be sections specifically for our Youth competitors and with continued support we hope to include additional categories for Breeder of the Year and Sire/Dam of the Year. Lifetime awards will recognise horses that continue to represent the breed year after year, with awards for obtaining a certain number of accumulated points. The Awards are open to members of TAASA and AHSA registered horses only. Our membership year is the same as the Awards year, from the 1st August each year. Please bear with us as we get the last bits of information up for viewing! We look forward to hearing about our beautiful breed out and about throughout the year! |
