2010 AIHR National

The AIHR currently sponsors seven awards programs. These programs are similar in that they are all lifetime awards — there is no time limit on earning any of them. Each award costs a one-time registration fee to cover the cost of postage, record keeping, printing, etc. (foreign members please add $5 in U.S. funds to each fee).

These AIHR awards programs are available to AIHR members riding only registered American Indian Horses or Ponies. Although these members may already be included in family memberships, they must in some way be connected to a current paid membership. While there is no time limit on any of the awards, AIHR membership must be kept current while the award is being earned, or all points will be forfeited.

  1. THE HORSEBACK HOURS PROGRAM is designed to meet each individual member’s need and is based on an honor system whereby the rider-owner can log hours spent riding, and
