Why the Show Matters to the Association
The AAHA describes itself as a not-for-profit organization formed to promote the enjoyment of the Arabian horse. Its stated mission includes providing AHA-sanctioned events for members, supporting educational programs, and encouraging the breeding and exhibiting of Arabian horses. The summer show is the association's flagship event on the public calendar, and the home page features a countdown to the June 4–7 dates.
Before You Plan Your Trip
- Check "The Show" tab first. The home page explicitly points there for details beyond the dates and venue, so confirm schedules and participation information before making travel plans.
- Note the venue name precisely. The site lists the Calnash Trucking AG Centre (the countdown banner shortens it to "Calnash AG Centre"), located in Ponoka, Alberta.
- Consider membership if you plan to participate regularly. The AAHA offers Adult and Youth memberships through the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) or directly with the AAHA via a form and annual fee. Memberships expire December 31 each year and are non-transferable. Associate Members can attend meetings and receive bulletins and may vote at the AAHA level, but do not have voting rights at AHA conventions or Region 17 AGMs.
Other Reasons to Visit the Site
Beyond the show, auroraarabian.com lists an "Ask the Judge" section, Clinics/Workshops, a Youth Zone, High Point Awards, newsletters, and a Region 17 Directory that distributes 1,000 full-color printed copies at major horse-related events. A volunteer program is also promoted to youth and to job, college, and university applicants.
