Arabian Horse Association

Every Arabian horse trainer and breeder should have a complete set of the “Standards of Excellence” videos produced by the Arabian Horse Association. These videos explain and demonstrate the judging criteria used to define success in the Arabian show ring. They’re invaluable tools for anyone involved in breeding, selecting or training horses for multiple divisions.

In truth, many more Arabian horse owners and riders should own all six of the following videos in the series, even if they compete primarily in a single division:

• Standards of Excellence in the English Divisions
• Standards of Excellence in the Hunter Divisions
• Standards of Excellence in Western Pleasure
• Standards of Excellence in the Show Hack Division
• Standards of Excellence in the Halter Divisions
• Standards of Excellence in the Showmanship Division
