2026 Discovery Horse Program

This program awards our everyday heroes in the Arabian Horse industry. Those horses that are working each and everyday to help introduce people to our breed and help them learn how to ride and enjoy horses. These horses are very involved in lesson programs attend multiple outreach events and are the go to horse to introduce people to. They represent the Arabian horse and their kindness and love of people. We want to honor these horses that provide so much for our industry.
