Staff Spotlight

Hello my name is Mary Vargas. I am the Officer Services Technician. I have been with AHA for 17 years.

1) If you had to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, but all your human needs—such as food and water—were taken care of, what two items would you want to have with you?

The two things I would want to have would be my family and my strong faith.

2) If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

a dog

3) What’s your favorite time waster?

4) What’s your favorite thing about working at AHA?

Help Us Help You

As we near the close of calendar year 2019, it is very important that we clear all of our pending registrations. This is one of the most important activities your Arabian Horse Association manages every year, and we ask for your help to see to it that your foal registration records are completed.

We’re asking you to please contact us immediately if you have any type of registration work pending. Call Registry Services at 303-696-4500, option #2 or email info@arabianhorses.org .

Calling All Stallion Owners!

As the year comes to an end it is time to submit record of the mares your stallion has bred this year. Stallion reports are another tool that AHA uses to implement our mission to keep accurate and current records, a responsibility in maintaining the integrity of the breed. A stallion report is also a requirement for the registration of the upcoming foal.

Your stallion report can also be beneficial for you as well. Keep record of all purebred mares (required) and Half/Anglo Arabian mares (optional) that your US purebred stallion has bred throughout the year, sign the report and submit it to AHA by fax, email or regular mail by December 31 ^st to avoid a late penalty. There is not a cost for current members to submit stallion reports by December 31 ^st . Download a stallion report here . For more information call Registry Services at (303) 696-4500 (option 2) or reach us by email .
