GAHA Futurities

Georgia Arabian Horse Association Futurity Program

GAHA members we need your input! The GAHA futurity program is getting smaller in size each year. At the recent Board of Directors meeting we came up with some ideas to help it grow. Review our ideas and comment on them and/or add your ideas to boost the program. Here are some of our ideas: Add an under saddle class for 5 year olds (you would pay a one time fee for it like $125), add a Sport horse in hand (halter class for the 3 year olds) and a Sport Horse under saddle for the 4 and 5 year olds. Got any ideas or comments? Contact me at conniehgreen@aol.com, 770-974-8040 or Susan White at SWdeepcreekarabs@aol.com, 770-567-4937. We really need your help!
