The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan The Arabian Horse Association of Michigan (AHAM), is one of four clubs in Michigan dedicated to the promotion and well-being of the Arabian horse. AHAM works in conjunction with the other clubs to help with this promotion. AHAM is affiliated with Region 13, which encompasses Michigan and Indiana. They are actively involved in promoting the regional show and always strive to bring new people to the Region and their regional show. AHAM was established more than 60 years ago. This club was started to benefit all of the Arabian horse enthusiasts in the Michigan area.

These “Amateur Extravaganza” classes are offered in all three performance divisions, Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat, and Western, and are open to purebred and Half-Arabians. These are jackpot classes, and the association adds a considerable amount of prize money to the pot.

AHAM prides themselves on being in-tune with the wants and needs of their members. They are extremely exhibitor friendly and are always open to new ideas that will add benefit to their membership. AHAM keeps their members up-to-date on current happenings with the monthly enewsletter, and with daily and weekly updates on their website, www.miarabhorse.com, their Facebook page (Arabian Horse Association of Michigan), or on their twitter account @AHAMMichigan.

The AHAM club is open for anyone to join, and they do have members from all over the country that affiliate themselves with AHAM. To join AHAM, please log onto their website at www.miarabhorse.com and click on the membership info icon. This will guide you to the appropriate forms to complte. Or, you may email the Membership coordinator at judyzumbach@gmail.com.

AHAM holds two shows annually to help with the promotion and to give back to their membership. The first show is usually the first weekend in May and is called the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show. This horse show has been in existence for 56 years and has always proven to be a competitive, exhibitor friendly horse show. In recent years, the Michigan All Arabian Horse Show has added exciting classes aimed at encouraging this healthy competition and giving back to the amateurs in Region 13. ©2014 C & C PUBLISHING, INC. • MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

The membership nominates exhibitors for other year-end awards including the Trudell Award (presented to the person most improved in Showmanship and Halter), Adult Sportsmanship Award, Youth Sportsmanship Award, and Best Show Award, which are all announced at the year-end Awards Banquet. Several shows are scheduled at the Sandusky Fairgrounds and most are 2-day shows. Sandusky has an indoor arena to facilitate rainy days, enough stalls situated between 2 barns (some stalls are larger for the big horses), wash rack, very nice bathroom and shower facilities, a covered Grandstand for leisurely seating and viewing, and electrical hookups for campers. Sandusky has plenty of shopping and numerous restaurants very close to the fairgrounds. Sandusky’s show pen was re-worked a few years ago, and has excellent footing. Concession stands are scheduled at all shows. BWPHA participates in the “APHA-Paint Alternative Competition Program” and the “PHBA-Palomino Performance Program.” If you have a color breed horse, these programs are very easy to participate in, and have some really nice prizes through APHA and PHBA.

Kensington Trail Riders Association (KTRA) is a group of like minded individuals that span both genders and all age groups. Our horses are every breed and color imaginable. The common threads that connect us are our love of riding and a desire to keep Kensington Metro Park as a destination for trail riders. With more than 25 miles of equine riding, Kensington provides wide, sandy trails, diversity of terrain, and ease of access. KTRA members have work bee activities so everyone can enjoy the trails year-round for club activities and camping events. One of the highlights each year is the Billy Gunn Trail Challenge where we encouraged members and non-members alike to come and ride a mile, ride a trail, or ride all the trails in the park on a single day. We generally host two fun-filled camping weekends each year - one in spring, one in fall. Both camping weekends have a camp breakfast on Saturday morning and a camp potluck with a band on Saturday night. It is a wonderful, fun-filled event. If you have questions, please call Bill Gunn at 248.207.1496.

UNDER THE MICHIGAN EQUINE LIABILITY ACT, AN EQUINE PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN AN EQUINE ACTIVITY RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISK OF THE EQUINE ACTIVITY. I apply to participate in or observe equine events provided and sponsored by Ranch Horse Association of Michigan (RHAM). By signing this RELEASE OF LIABILITY I understand that my involvement in a Ranch Horse Event will expose me to above normal risks due to the unpredictable behavior of horses and their reactions to surroundings of unfamiliar objects, sounds and cattle. Examples of these risks include: collisions, kicking, biting, rearing, bucking, striking, rolling, bolting and trampling. I understand that horses have a tendency to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm or death to a person on or around it. I agree that I assume and acknowledge these and other dangers that are inherent in horse related activities. I agree that I am responsible for my own safety. I agree that I have my own medical coverage. I agree that the RHAM, their members, employees, and agents will not be liable if I suffer personal injury or death. I agree not to bring any claims, demands or lawsuits against RHAM, their members, employees or agents. I agree that if RHAM, their members, agents or employees are sued by anyone else because of claimed conduct by myself, I will indemnify and hold them harmless from all damages and costs, including reasonable actual attorney fees. I agree that by signing this release it becomes binding on me, my heirs and assigns, and thus I am allowed to participate in RHAM activities or ride on property rented or in use for events. I agree that, THIS RELEASE CONSTITUTES A WAVIER OF LIABILITY BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE MICHIGAN EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT 1994 P.A. 351. I agree that Michigan law governs the enforceability of this release. I acknowledge that I have read this waiver and liability release and I fully understand it, I am eighteen years of age or older, and that I am signing this release on my own behalf (or on the behalf of my minor children), our heirs, representatives and assigns. I understand that I am responsible for my own financial loss in relation to any theft or damage to my tack, equipment, vehicles, trailers, and horses while on the premises where an Equine event is held. Upon purchase of a RHAM Membership, member agrees to abide by the Bylaws and Rules and Regulations of ARHA and RHAM. A RHAM membership is not required to participate in a RHAM Event as long as the participant provides proof of a current ARHA membership, but a RHAM membership must be purchased to be eligible for year-end points to accumulate and showing 3 of 4 or 4 of 5 RHAM circuit shows per season to be eligible for a year end award. I (We) agree to abide by the rules of the American Ranch Horse Assoc. and Ranch Horse Assoc. of Michigan and will work to promote the association.

YSTRA MISSION STATEMENT The purpose of the Yankee Springs Trail Riders Association is to preserve, protect, improve and expand existing horse campgrounds and the horse trail network in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, and the surrounding areas, for use by horsemen, their families and the general public for horse riding and camping. To develop and maintain good communications and working relationships with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division, and/or its successors. To assist them in their efforts to maintain adequate horse campgrounds and riding trails and to help generate revenue that will enable horse campgrounds to become self-supporting. To promote horse riding and camping by providing information to the general public on the location of horse campground facilities, horse trails and the recreational benefits available. Our Association was founded in 1989 by a group of riders that had been using the trails for quite some time. They decided that much more could be accomplished by organizing, and we have grown to over a hundred family memberships since then. We are a calendar year organization, offering family membership of $20.00 that runs from January 1st to December the 31st. We also offer a lifetime membership as well. As a trail riding group we try to have at least 3 events per year, one being a fundraiser for another nonprofit organization, such as Cancer Families United. We also like to have a kid's FREE event once a year and then a club fund raiser for improvement's to camp and trails. Our events are held at our “ADOPT-A-PARK” Horseman’s Campground on Duffy Road in the Yankee Springs Recreation Area. Our monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, usually with a potluck first and the meeting to follow. Except our Annual banquet meeting which is subject to new time and location as the board sees to change each year. At the annual meeting we usually have some youth awards that we like to present to our outstanding youth participation. Our newsletters are biannual. YSTRA will continue to improve and create more equestrian trails for our trail system with the help of our public land managers. We will continue to work to improve the campground and possibly bring electricity to our horse camp one day. Our Website is www.ystra.org and we also monitor a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ystra.org. The current Officers of the club are: Tom Chaffee, V.P., Kathy Taylor, secretary, Jeanne Burger, treasurer, Ron Walker, president. Mailings should be to YSTRA, P.O. Box 352, Delton, Michigan, 49046.
