The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan
The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan (AHAM), is one of four clubs in Michigan dedicated to the promotion and well-being of the Arabian horse.
AHAM works in conjunction with the other clubs to help with this promotion. AHAM is affiliated with Region 13, which encompasses Michigan and
Indiana. They are actively involved in promoting the regional show and always strive to bring new people to the Region and their regional show.
AHAM was established more than 60 years ago. This club was started to
benefit all of the Arabian horse enthusiasts in the Michigan area.
These “Amateur Extravaganza” classes are offered in all three
performance divisions, Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat, and Western, and are
open to purebred and Half-Arabians. These are jackpot classes, and the
association adds a considerable amount of prize money to the pot.
AHAM prides themselves on being in-tune with the wants and needs of
their members. They are extremely exhibitor friendly and are always
open to new ideas that will add benefit to their membership. AHAM keeps
their members up-to-date on current happenings with the monthly enewsletter, and with daily and weekly updates on their website,
www.miarabhorse.com, their Facebook page (Arabian Horse
Association of Michigan), or on their twitter account @AHAMMichigan.
The AHAM club is open for anyone to join, and they do have members
from all over the country that affiliate themselves with AHAM. To join
AHAM, please log onto their website at www.miarabhorse.com and click
on the membership info icon. This will guide you to the appropriate forms
to complte. Or, you may email the Membership coordinator at
[email protected].
AHAM holds two shows annually to help with the promotion and to give
back to their membership. The first show is usually the first weekend in
May and is called the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show. This horse show
has been in existence for 56 years and has always proven to be a
competitive, exhibitor friendly horse show. In recent years, the Michigan
All Arabian Horse Show has added exciting classes aimed at
encouraging this healthy competition and giving back to the amateurs in
Region 13.
If you are interested in being more involved with AHAM, please go to their
website at www.miarabhorse.com and email any of the board members
listed. AHAM would be happy to give you more information on the next
monthly board meeting or provide you with information on how to

About the
Genesee County 4-H
Horse Leaders Association
The goal of the GCHLA is to provide a supportive environment for our youth to learn horsemanship and community service to others. We are
a volunteer group consisting of five 4-H clubs. We meet monthly to coordinate our activities throughout the year, including our show series
circuit, community service projects, Horse Judging team and furthering education of members. The Executive board added youth leaders as
part of the Executive board for the past 8 years. One of the current 4-H clubs has been in existence for over 40 years.
In addition to our show series, we put on a week-long “Achievement Days” celebration horse show for 4-H members which includes
Championship Classes and Team Events. We decorate stalls according to a theme each year, which forms the basis of our Sponsor Book. Our
Sponsor Book includes information about each club, commemorate the year's achievements for our members and spotlight local businesses
who support the 4-H program in our County. We send a full roster of representatives to the State 4-H show, chosen on not only show results
from the year, but also community service, sportsmanship and a qualification essay. Many clubs are now showing at the Genesee County Fair
during the actual fair. We hope to expand this experience to include the community, possibly creating stick horses or other youth activities. We
have lots of fun planned and new classes offered for the upcoming year and we welcome new members to our clubs and open riders to our
shows.
Please follow us on Facebook or contact the adult GCHLA President, Sarah Carlyon at 810-730-7202 or email: [email protected]
for more information about joining a club, coming to open shows, or placing an ad in the Sponsor Book.
Thank you to Genesee County MSU Extension Office and all the leaders, youth, parents, friends and sponsors who volunteer their time and
support to the GCHLA.

H.V.E.C. - Huron Valley Equestrian Committee - In 1968 a group of parents started a 4-H club in the Milford area. When asked by the MSU extension to
help with an equine census in 1970, it was found that there were over 10,000 horses in Oakland County, more horses than any other county in the country.
This prompted a group of enthusiastic horse lovers, Ed Chezy, Kelly Lawerance, and Carmi Edwards, to present to the Huron Valley Schools Board of
Education a proposal for a school sponsored horsemanship program. The school board recommended that a horse show be held to determine if there was
sufficient interest within the community to warrant such a program. A committee was established and the first ever Fathers Day Show was held in 1972. A
portable public address system was erected and the Oakland County Road Commission constructed a temporary show ring on a site in front of Milford
High School. Because of the community’s enthusiasm and the support of volunteers and sponsors, the success of this first show surpassed all
expectations drawing 1200 spectators, 600 entries.
This astonishingly successful, single event brought the interest in horsemanship to a new level. Not only did the Huron Valley Horse Show become an
annual event, but it also justified establishing an educational program. This endeavor incorporating the horsemanship program into the Continuing
Education Program, developing an interscholastic competition and building a show ring, was not only unique, but the only one of its kind in the country. In
1976, due to the expansion of this program throughout Michigan, the Huron Valley Interscholastic Horsemanship Association became the Michigan
Interscholastic Horsemanship Association (MIHA). So today with over 45 years of existence in the equestrian community, here we are.
Does your association have a Mission Statement? HVEC’S mission is to provide an educational and safe environment in which
the HVEC promotes equestrian activities and the proper care of horses while instilling the principles of sportsmanship and a
healthy lifestyle for the families in the community that we serve.
What is the average number of members that you have
annually? Membership increases every year. 30+
Does your membership run January to December of each
year? Membership runs January to December annually.
What breed/discipline does the association focus on? All
breeds are welcome. No stallions please.
How many shows/events do you hold each year?
We hold 3 Open horses shows, 3 MIHA High School meets
and 1 MIHA Middle School meet.

Kensington Trail Riders Association (KTRA) is a group of like minded individuals that span both genders and all age groups. Our
horses are every breed and color imaginable. The common threads that connect us are our love of riding and a desire to keep
Kensington Metro Park as a destination for trail riders. With more than 25 miles of equine riding, Kensington provides wide,
sandy trails, diversity of terrain, and ease of access. KTRA members have work bee activities so everyone can enjoy the trails
year-round for club activities and camping events. One of the highlights this past year was the Billy Gunn Trail Challenge where
we encouraged members and non-members alike to come and ride a mile, ride a trail, or ride all the trails in the park on a single
day. We generally host two fun-filled camping weekends each year - one in spring, one in fall. Both camping weekends have a
camp breakfast on Saturday morning and a camp potluck with a band on Saturday night. It is a wonderful, fun-filled event.

Our Purpose
The purpose of this organization is to promote continuous growth in programs fostering horsemanship education,
sponsor activities to encourage interscholastic participation and to have cooperative adult-supervised leadership
(coaching) for all students in grades 6 through 12 who are desirous to participate regardless of race, creed or national
origin and meet the Association rules and regulations (By-Laws).
Our Goals
Throughout Association leadership and coaching, it is our goal that the student members derive whatever enjoyment
and benefits possible as a result of participating as riders in horsemanship education programs and interscholastic
competition. The MIHA and Coaches will involve each equestrian student (male and female) to the extent possible in team competition. The
MIHA and Coaches will provide situations where each equestrian team member can be exposed to cooperative working experience that leads
to common group goals. The MIHA and Coaches will provide each equestrian team member with the opportunities to experience good
leadership, fair play, horsemanship, sense of honesty, character, pride and good
sportsmanship at all times. The MIHA and Coaches will always provide, conduct and host equestrian interscholastic programs with proper
instructions, coaching methods, conditioning rules, health, safety and welfare of each participant.

UNDER THE MICHIGAN EQUINE LIABILITY ACT, AN EQUINE PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN AN EQUINE ACTIVITY RESULTING
FROM THE INHERENT RISK OF THE EQUINE ACTIVITY.
I apply to participate in or observe equine events provided and sponsored by Ranch Horse Association of Michigan (RHAM). By signing this RELEASE OF LIABILITY I understand that my
involvement in a Ranch Horse Event will expose me to above normal risks due to the unpredictable behavior of horses and their reactions to surroundings of unfamiliar objects, sounds and cattle.
Examples of these risks include: collisions, kicking, biting, rearing, bucking, striking, rolling, bolting and trampling. I understand that horses have a tendency to behave in ways that may result in
injury, harm or death to a person on or around it. I agree that I assume and acknowledge these and other dangers that are inherent in horse related activities. I agree that I am responsible for my
own safety. I agree that I have my own medical coverage. I agree that the RHAM, their members, employees, and agents will not be liable if I suffer personal injury or death. I agree not to bring any
claims, demands or lawsuits against RHAM, their members, employees or agents. I agree that if RHAM, their members, agents or employees are sued by anyone else because of claimed
conduct by myself, I will indemnify and hold them harmless from all damages and costs, including reasonable actual attorney fees. I agree that by signing this release it becomes binding on me,
my heirs and assigns, and thus I am allowed to participate in RHAM activities or ride on property rented or in use for events. I agree that, THIS RELEASE CONSTITUTES A WAVIER OF LIABILITY
BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE MICHIGAN EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT 1994 P.A. 351. I agree that Michigan law governs the enforceability of this release. I acknowledge that I have read
this waiver and liability release and I fully understand it, I am eighteen years of age or older, and that I am signing this release on my own behalf (or on the behalf of my minor children), our heirs,
representatives and assigns. I understand that I am responsible for my own financial loss in relation to any theft or damage to my tack, equipment, vehicles, trailers, and horses while on the
premises where an Equine event is held.
Upon purchase of a RHAM Membership, member agrees to abide by the Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of ARHA and RHAM. A RHAM membership is not required to participate in a RHAM
Event as long as the participant provides proof of a current ARHA membership, but a RHAM membership must be purchased to be eligible for year-end points to accumulate and showing 3 of 4 or
4 of 5 RHAM circuit shows per season to be eligible for a year end award.
I (We) agree to abide by the rules of the American Ranch Horse Assoc. and Ranch Horse Assoc. of Michigan and will work to promote the association.

YSTRA MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds
and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and
the general public for horse riding and camping.
To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks
and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails
and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting.
To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities,
horse trails and the recreational benefits available.
Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that
much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a
calendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from January 1st to December the 31st. We also offer a
lifetime membership as well.
As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as
Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid's FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and
trails. Our events are held at our “ADOPT-A-PARK” Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area.
Our monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck first and the meeting to follow. Except
our Annual banquet meeting which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. At the annual meeting
we usually have some youth awards that we like to present to our outstanding youth participation. Our newsletters are biannual.
YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. We
will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day.
Our website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the
