Welcome to the Montana Arabian Horse Association

There is not one in the Montana Arabian Horse Association that does not have their story to tell, many beginning with a childhood love for horses that began before they ever saw one in the flesh. Whether we were born with this unexplainable passion for the horses or if we grew to know it, the Arabian breed holds a special place.

In the Montana Arabian Horse Association, we are dedicated to promoting the Arabian breed for all the qualities that have made it endure for centuries. If you already own an Arabian horse, if you are involved in horse showing, endurance, racing, trail riding, or if you are an explorer ready to embark on a new adventure- there is information in these pages for you.

The Montana Arabian Horse Association is one of the oldest charter clubs through the national organization of the Arabian Horse Association and we continue now, as in the years previous, with a strong tradition and dedication to promote and expose the fine qualities of the Arabian Horse. Our members consist of trainers, judges, breeders, owners and exhibitors in all types of disciplines. As Arabian, Half or Anglo Arabian owners or enthusiasts, we are thrilled with the joy our horses bring to our lives and are even more excited when someone else discovers the attributes and unlimited talents of the breed. This thrill and excitement is what cements this club in our roots and goals. We continue to find avenues within the local community to educate others about the Arabian Horse.

We sponsor schooling shows, assist in 4-H forums and clinics with our horses, educate, and promote at agricultural events. Our annual recognized horse show continues to grow in numbers with increased media attention, public attendance at the show has been very positive, and we have hopes to hold fun shows along with exhibition classes in between scheduled horse races next fall. Membership with The Montana Arabian Horse Association can provide many benefits.

Our newsletter keeps you posted about events in the area, region and national interests; automatically qualifies you for Year End High Point Awards and the acclaimed Montana Arabian Merit Award bronzes; and provides a solid base of knowledge and contact. You can also become an affiliated member through The Arabian Horse Association, which allows you to participate in not only our club programs but also the numerous programs through AHA. Whether you're a single horse owner or have a string of horses that you compete, there's something for everyone! We know you have a choice of clubs to join but at this time, we would like to extend an invitation for you to join MAHA.

If you're interested in becoming part of the heritage, please complete the application form enclosed or you can join online through the Arabian Horse Association or download a Membership form here.

You are invited to join in the incredible journey with those who have chosen to walk their paths with the Arabian horse.

President's Message - Feb-March, 2010

Dear MAHA Members:

The MAHA Awards Banquet for 2009 was held in Billings at the Elks Lodge on Saturday, January 16, 2010. It was a wonderful evening of visiting, good food and celebrating the accomplishments of our members and our horses in 2009. Kymry Schmidt put together a power point of pictures of the horses being honored which was very enjoyable to watch as the awards were given, and as each person receiving the award spoke to the crowd about the high points of the year and their horses. Many thanks to everyone who came and made this evening such a success. The list of awards given for 2009 is included in the website.

The next meeting for MAHA is scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Laura Lee Anderson’s home, 3048 Highway 312, Billings. Please call 406-855-5411 if you need directions to the house. There will be brunch and the meeting will start promptly at 11:30 a.m.

Hope that you all are doing well, and having a good February!

Lee Anderson, President
