Log Your Miles!
For the ranch horse enthusiast
who enjoys the wide open spaces
of the trails and woods, ARHA
offers an alternative
to the show ring, and a way to
earn awards and recognition with
your ARHA registered horses. All
you need to do is nominate your
horse, log your trail riding
hours according to the ARHA
rules and you will qualify for
awards.
The purpose
of the Saddle Log Program is to
encourage and reward casual,
non-show oriented pleaseure
riding.
Any form of
recreational riding maybe
included in your hours logged.
This may include: trail rides,
trail trials,
ranch work,
and pleasure riding. Recognition
levels are 50, 100, 250, 500,
750, 1,500 and 2,500 hours.
Certificates,
patches,
mugs, key tags, plaques, gift
certificates and personalized
saddle log jackets are awarded
to those who make
milestone
achievements in this program.
