3 Arabian Horse Association, USA) Registration Amnesty Offer for Arabians Two Years and Older For many years the population of older, unregistered Arabians has been on the rise. This is a serious problem for our breed. Sadly, unregistered horses lose their connection to the heritage of the Arabian breed. Without ever being registered, there is no historical record of their bloodline, progeny, accomplishments, or even their existence. Horses without a registration number or certificate are also less valuable and desirable when being sold. In an attempt to bring these unregistered horses and their owners into the Arabian community, the Arabian Horse Association is offering a registration amnesty for horses two and older beginning July 1 through December 31, Send all information to: It will be included in the next Newsletter and, if you wish, will also appear on our website. If you or a friend owns an unregistered Arabian horse, don t let this amnesty opportunity pass you by! Any Purebred registered during this period will receive a $100 discount from $350 to $250 (member rate). Any Half Arabian/Anglo Arabian registered during this period will receive a $40 discount from $115 to $75 (member rate). Please note that all registration requirements must still be met in order for registration to be complete (see AHA Handbook). The AHA Customer Service Staff is available to help guide you through the necessary process.

The F350's have sides 4" higher than the older trucks so I do not have enough clearance to haul my trailer. Never thought I would sell it but I have no choice. This is a smooth hauling trailer and I hope to find another TW that rides higher. My headache can be your deal. Ready to g o r i d e, c a m p!
