Adult Amateur
This Program is for AHAN members who are 18 year of age or older and
are amateurs according to USEF rules and standards. The purpose of the Adult Amateur Derby is
to promote the Arabian Horse as well as to encourage
the adult amateur members of this association.
These program rules may be changed, added to, or deleted by the Board of
Directors of AHAN. The adult amateur does not need to hold
a USEF card, only to be an amateur horseman/woman in accordance with USEF rules.
Points will be awarded according
to participation in appropriate volunteer activities approved by the Adult
Amateur Derby Committee. Additionally,
points for showing any Arabian Horse or Half Arabian
Horse at an AHAN show will be accumulated by the adult amateur rider and
applied toward this award.
This program will be administered under the present AHAN High Point
Committee.
