Each
year the IaAHA hosts an annual "Awards Banquet" at the end of the year.
Members celebrate their year end achievements by coming together to share a
meal and memories.

2007 Hosted by the SW
District -- Prairie Meadows in Des Moines |
|
Members in the club collect points throughout the year
from showing their horses in rated and non-rated shows in the state of Iowa
and around the country. This "High Point"
contest is free of charge to members of the IaAHA. This
year we did a breakfast buffet starting at 10:00am in Prairie Room C at the
racetrack. It was so much fun!! |
