As our association continues to grow and welcome new members, we wanted to take a moment to share the ARHA rules regarding exhibitor conduct, ethics, and sportsmanship.
When NERHA was founded, it was built on a simple set of values: integrity, respect, sportsmanship, and a genuine love for our horses. We have always believed in putting the horse before the sport, treating others with kindness, and creating an atmosphere where competitors become friends and everyone feels welcome.
One of the things that makes NERHA special is the positive environment that our members have worked hard to create. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or attending your very first show, we want every person to feel supported, respected, and encouraged.
As we continue to grow and see many new faces join our community, it is important that the ethics, sportsmanship, and values that have defined NERHA from the beginning continue to be upheld by all members. Success in the show pen is important, but how we conduct ourselves, treat our horses, and support one another is what truly defines our association.
We encourage all members and exhibitors to review the ARHA rules and exhibitor ethics. Together, we can ensure that NERHA remains an organization built on integrity, horsemanship, and respect for years to come.
Thank you for helping make NERHA a place where great competition and great people come together. ❤️🐴
