November 19-23 is the time for the AHA Annual Convention which will be held in Denver Colorado.
KARABS will be sending one delegate, our president Duane Esser, to the convention. The
resolutions to be voted on at convention this year are available on-line at the AHA website (http:
//www.arabianhorses.org/membership/convention/2008/2008Resolutions.asp). There are a couple
of interesting resolutions concerning Hunter Pleasure Specifications and Hunter Pleasure Rider
Attire. One of the more controversial resolutions is one which seeks to make the Arabian Scoring
System for halter classes optional at all recognized rated, Regional Championship and National
Championship shows. Take the time to look over the resolutions and if you have any comments or
concerns please let Duane know (duane@esservalleyarabians.com).
