The Iowa Arabian Horse Association was founded on Feb. 26, 1954. Our purpose is to foster and encourage the use of the Arabian and Half/Anglo Arabian Horse. Currently we sponsor 4 Class A Shows and a B rated Youth Show in Des Moines. During the summer we have fun shows for extra showing experience and fun!!!

We offer many outstanding benefits to our members. Two $1,000 scholarships are awarded each year. One to a graduating senior and one for continuing education open to all age's. Our 54 division "High Point" is FREE to all members. Everyone is entered and all points from our 4 class "A" shows and 1 class "B" Youth Show is automatically tallied by computer making this a "True High Point?. Also the High Point has an Un-Rated and an out of state division. Other benefits include a yearly directory and a monthly newsletter. We also sponsor the Gold Star Stallion Futurity which includes halter and performance classes and a stallion auction. The classes held in conjunction with our Fall Show awarded $23,346 in prize money.

We also have a very active youth program which has won several national honors. We want to welcome anyone interested in the Arabian or Half Arabian Horse to join us.
