What Resources and Sections Are Available on the Aurora Arabian Horse Association Website?

Updated

auroraarabian.com is the home 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 organized around a small set of tabs covering the club's show, membership, youth programs, meetings, educational content, and its regional directory. Below is what each section offers so you can go straight to the page you need.

Show Information and Key Dates

The The Show tab is the hub for the club's flagship event, the Aurora All Breed Summer Horse Show. The homepage lists the next edition as June 4–7, 2026, at the Calnash Trucking AG Centre in Ponoka, AB, with a countdown clock and a prompt to check The Show tab for full details. The site also references the Aurora Arabian Horse Experience and a page of Horse Show Dates for the broader calendar.

If you are planning to attend or exhibit, start with The Show tab for schedules and entry details, then confirm dates on the Horse Show Dates page.

Membership: Associate, Adult, and Youth

The Aurora Associate Member Form section explains a non-voting-tier membership:

  • Open to anyone passionate about contributing to AAHA or promoting the Arabian horse.
  • Associate members can attend meetings and receive bulletins.
  • They can vote at the AAHA level but do not have voting rights at AHA conventions or Region 17 AGMs.

For Adult or Youth membership, the site lists two routes:

  1. Register with the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) and affiliate with AAHA.
  2. Register directly with AAHA by completing a form and paying the annual fee, then emailing the completed form to the address listed on the page.

Memberships expire December 31 each year and are non-transferable. The Interested in joining us? section on the homepage points to the same membership paths.

Youth, Volunteering, and Awards

  • Youth Zone — a dedicated tab for younger members; the site's mission explicitly includes encouraging an active Youth membership.
  • Aurora Volunteer Program — aimed at youth, job applicants, and college or university applicants; the homepage notes volunteering with Aurora as a way to get involved.
  • Aurora Perpetual Trophy — a page covering the club's perpetual trophy.
  • High Point Awards — year-end award information for exhibitors.

Education and Governance

  • Clinics/Workshops — listed as a new tab alongside Ask the Judge; check here for hands-on learning events.
  • ASK THE JUDGE — a Q&A-style resource where judging questions are addressed.
  • Meetings & Meeting Minutes — meeting schedules and records; associate members may attend meetings and receive bulletins.
  • Newsletters — club communications archive.

Region 17 Directory

The Region 17 Directory page describes a full-color printed directory with roughly 1,000 copies circulated at major horse-related events in the region. Advertisers receive the circulation benefits of that print run. The page includes a Region 17 Directory Information section for prospective advertisers. The club also states it provides a voice at Region 17 meetings and the AHA Convention.

Practical Notes

  • Membership forms are submitted by email to the address shown on the membership page; the site does not publish fees, so confirm the current annual fee when you request the form.
  • The 2026 show dates and venue come from the homepage; verify closer to the event in case of changes.
  • The site does not state that any section requires login, but treat that as unconfirmed rather than a guarantee of open access.
