ACTHA Achievement Awards are now open to approved competitive trail organization partners
In keeping with our mission to end equine unemployment and recognize the value of all trail horses, no matter their discipline, ACTHA will honor placements from approved organizations holding competitive trail events to count toward ACTHA Achievement Awards. Our goal is to promote and reward competitive trail riding, and together, we can give the Great American Trail Horse the recognition so proudly deserved.
We will recognize competitive trail events both on the trail and in the arena, where riders receive a score/placement (not a "for fun" trail ride). Examples are organizations shown below, breed shows, or any recognized trail class comparable to our Arena Obstacle Challenges. Note: Only points earned in ACTHA events will count towards ACTHA National or State rankings.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE?
