EnglishWhat Is auroraarabian.com? The Aurora Arabian Horse Association Explained
Updated
auroraarabian.com is the website of the Aurora Arabian Horse Association (AAHA), a not-for-profit organization established in 1965 that promotes the enjoyment of the Arabian horse. The site is the hub for the club's annual summer show, membership forms, newsletters, volunteer opportunities, and its Region 17 directory. It is useful if you want to attend or exhibit at the Aurora All Breed Summer Horse Show, join as a member or associate member, or get involved as a volunteer.
What the Organization Does
The AAHA describes its mission around a set of concrete activities rather than general statements:
- Develop, encourage, and stimulate popular interest in the Arabian horse
- Provide Arabian Horse Association (AHA) sanctioned events for members
- Support educational programs and other activities
- Aid and encourage the breeding, exhibiting, and perpetuation of Arabian horses
- Build an active community within the membership and encourage an active Youth membership
- Provide a voice at Region 17 meetings and the AHA Convention
- Work collaboratively with other Arabian horse associations
The site also notes newer sections, "Ask the Judge" and "Clinics/Workshops," which fit the educational side of that mission.
The 2026 Summer Show
The headline event promoted on the homepage is the Aurora All Breed Summer Horse Show, scheduled for June 4–7, 2026, at the Calnash Trucking AG Centre in Ponoka, Alberta (the site also refers to it as the Calnash AG Centre). The homepage runs a countdown to the event and directs visitors to "The Show" tab for details. If your reason for visiting is the show, that tab is the place to start; the homepage itself only gives dates and venue.
Membership: Two Paths
The site distinguishes between full Adult/Youth membership and Associate membership.
Associate Membership
Associate membership is described as open to anyone passionate about contributing to the AAHA or promoting the Arabian horse. Benefits listed:
- Can attend meetings and receive bulletins
- Can vote at the AAHA level
- Does not carry voting rights at AHA conventions or Region 17 AGMs
Adult and Youth Membership
The site lists two routes:
- Register with the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) and affiliate with the AAHA.
- Register directly with the AAHA by completing a form and paying the annual fee.
Completed forms are submitted by email to the address listed on the membership page. Two conditions apply to all memberships: they expire on December 31 each year and are non-transferable. The site does not publish fee amounts, so check the form or contact the club for current pricing.
