  • Please make sure all your paperwork is in order before trying to enter an event.
  • Your exhibit must be registered with an Arabian Breed Database to be accepted.
  • The exhibit must be entered in the registered owners name. 
  • APAHO members receive great discounts so please consider becoming a member. If your not a member with us we will still welcome you at our shows to compete at the standard rate of fees.
  • To be exempt from Day Insurance competitors must be a member of either APAHO, EWA or PCWA, otherwise it remains compulsory  (Please note AHSA no longer covers it members for 24/7 accident, outside of their own sanctioned events, so therefore we can no longer offer exemption for AHSA members)
  • Remember that great sportsmanship always makes for a fun and positive showing experience.
  • Bullying of any kind at our events will not be tolerated. 
  • Interfering with another competitors property or horse will not be tolerated.
  • Correct ring edict needs to be upheld by all competitors in both Saddle Classes and Halter Classes, if we witness anything that is seen or interpreted as unfair play you may be penalized or disqualified at the ring masters discretion. 
  • Make sure you are familiar with our score cards before entering an event. Our scoring system includes penalties for things such as; excessive make-up, balding, whip abuse and intimidation. 
  • Scheduled events will not run without sufficient exhibit numbers, if this occurs competitors entry fees will be reimbursed.  (things we will not reimburse to competitors include; stable hire - stables are not compulsory they are the individuals choice and they are normally handled by the venue and not the organizer)
  • Closing dates of our events will not be extended under any circumstances due to the organizers time restraints. All events are advertised and marketed well in advance so please do not ask for an extension because our refusal may offend. 
  • Please personally thank your sponsors! The APAHO classes are expensive to sponsor, so please support the wonderful sponsors we currently have so they may consider returning as a future sponsor.  Great prizes are because of great show sponsors so lets keep them happy!
