ACTHA ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS ARE OPEN TO APPROVED COMPETITIVE TRAIL ORGANIZATION PARTNERS
The American Competitive Trail Horse Association (ACTHA) values the efforts of every competitive trail organization in recognizing the great American trail horse. In keeping with our mission, beginning June 1, 2015, ACTHA will recognize other organizations’ competitive trail challenges and arena obstacle courses so that points earned will count towards ACTHA Achievement Awards.
The organization must be recognized as a legitimate equine organization with the ability to verify event rosters and placements. The points must be earned while the horse and rider are registered and active members of ACTHA. We will recognize competitive trail events both on the trail and in the arena, where riders receive a score/placement (not a trail ride). Points will be awarded only for achievement awards and will not count towards state or national standings.
The current list of recognized trail organizations included in ACTHA’s Achievement Awards program include; American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC), American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), American Paint Horse Association (APHA), Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC), Arabian Horse Association (AHA), Extreme Cowboy Association (EXCA), North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC), Southern Obstacle Challenge Association (SOCA), Texas Trail Challenge Club (TTCC), National Peruvian Horse Association (NPHA), Pinto Horse Association (PtHA), and the Paso Fino Horse Association (PFHA).
To recommend an organization to be included in this program please contact [email protected] for consideration.
