Hello my name is Abby Carpenter. I am a Competitions Representative and Awards Processor. I have been with AHA for about a year and a half.
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 dog, Cowgirl, and sunscreen! Haha
2) If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
- I would be a cheetah so I could be really fast
3) What’s your favorite time waster?
- Watching throwback Disney shows on Disney plus!
4) What hobbies do you have outside of work?
- Outside of work I like Ranch Sorting, trail riding, and baking (brownies are my specialty).
5)
What’s your favorite thing about working at AHA?
- My favorite thing about working at AHA is making someone’s day when I tell them their horse just qualified for their next award, I love sharing in their accomplishments they have earned from all of their hard work!

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
