Who wants to create a R12 team? MAC would love to team up!

Got kids in the show ring? Grab their barn friends and build a team!

The AHA Youth Team Tournament is a fun way for youth riders to work together, earn points throughout the year, and compete for great year-end awards. Points can be earned at both recognized and non-recognized shows and rides, so every ride can count.

🏆 High-scoring teams win prizes and are featured on the AHA Youth webpage.

⏰ Team entries are due April 1, so now is the time to get their crew together.

Encourage them to ride together, compete together, and have fun along the way.
