CAHR TO SHUT DOWN OPERATIONS IN ALBERTA, SHIFT TO DENVER

The Canadian Arabian Horse Registry -- founded in 1958 -- has been the official Registry of both Purebred and Partbred Arabian horses in Canada for many years. The Arabian horse breeders and participants in our country have been leaders and ground breakers in this Worldwide industry for many years.

Sadly, our Arabian breed has not been immune to these rapid declines.

USEF VOTES TO SUPPORT OLYMPIC FORMAT CHANGES AT FEI GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The United States Equestrian Federation voted at the November 22 FEI General Assembly to support changes to the Olympic format for equestrian sport. The biggest change in format across all three Olympic disciplines involved the number of riders per team and how they are scored.

Under the newly approved format, there will be three riders per team and no drop score. The active reserve can be substituted into the competition at the beginning of any phase of competition.

AHA'S LETTER AND POSITION STATEMENT CONCERNING THE HORSE PROTECTION ACT

Many Arabian Horse Association members are aware of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recently proposed changes to the regulations governing enforcement of the Horse Protection Act (HPA). A 60-day Public Hearing and Public Comment period began. This comment period has been extended and ends October 26, 2016 at which time the USDA will review comments, make any revisions/changes, and finalize the Rule. Because the HPA is already a law, there is no Congressional vote.
