A membership expires the following year on the last day of the month in which a member joined. For example, if an individual joins AHA on March 8, 2024, that membership expires March 31, 2025.
The AHA Competition Card is required for individual members (adult and youth) who compete, members who own horses that compete, and officials who officiate at recognized AHA events or members who participate in AHA award programs.
The Competition Card is also available to those who want to take advantage of the AHA Excess Personal Liability Insurance program. This insurance benefit is available to only those individuals who hold an AHA Competition Card. This coverage is a $1,000,000 personal excess liability policy, which covers legal liability for bodily injury and property damage resulting from horse-related accidents in the course of the member’s personal activities. This coverage applies to personal use or ownership of a horse, whether for pleasure riding, stabling or showing. The expiration of this excess liability insurance policy will be tied to the expiration date of the membership.
Competition Cards will be issued to individual members ONLY. The Competition Card may be purchased at the same time as membership or anytime within the anniversary year; however, the Competition Card will expire at the same time as a membership. For example, if you become a member on January 5, and don’t purchase a Competition Card until February 18, the Competition Card will expire on January 31, just like the membership card. You cannot purchase a Competitive Card without a membership.
No. You must pay your AHA dues as an individual Adult Member and pay the local club dues. An AHA individual Adult Member whose name appears on a membership list of a member organization is granted the rights to:
1. Vote in his/her member organization
2. Be counted towards the delegation strength of that member organization
3. Have the opportunity to be a Voting Delegate at the Annual Convention
Full members and associate members may participate in WAHA’s point system program. The points program does not require a competition card.
