Northern Minnesota Arabian Horse Association

Northern & Central Minnesota; also some members from Wisconsin, Dakotas, and southern Minnesota

Visit our website at http://www.northernmaha.com

The Northern Minnesota Arabian Horse Association was incorporated August 5, 1966.  Its first officers were Lee Sellnow, President; Reynard Arvidson, Vice-President; Dawn Lundgren, Secretary; and Don Gilbertson, Treasurer.  Other charter members were Muriel Besser, Shirley Motley, Virginina Reed, Willie Hargest, Mrs. Ed. Hargest, and Steve Vollmer.

The purpose of NMAHA was to stimulate popular interest in Arabians, to cooperate with other organizations to develop and maintain the highest qualities of this incomparable breed, and to encourage exhibits and shows to exploit the outstanding qualities of the Arabian horse.

NMAHA promoted the Arabian as an endurance horse with its Pillager Endurance and Competitive Rides, which were discontinued in the 1980's.  Club members camped out at the Pillager State Forest overnight to assist with an endurance ride and a competitive ride.  Many members continue to trail ride on the Pillager and Carlos State Park trails, and NMAHA supported recreational riders with trail rides, clinics, and booths at horse expos for a number of years.

From the late '60s to 1984, the annual NMAHA Arabian show was held in Brainerd, MN.  In 1985, the show moved to Sauk Centre, where it remains.  It is now the May Double the Fun show, and we work together with the North Dakota Association to put on two shows in three days so that exhibitors can qualify for both Region 10 and Region 6.

NMAHA also participates in the Region 10 Presidents' awards program which provides beautiful plaques to help affiliated clubs honor hard working members.  
 

2005 NMAHA Region 10 President's Award

It was with great pleasure I presented Loretta and Henry Wulf with the Northern Minnesota Arabian Horse Association (NMAHA) President's Award at our May 21-22, 2005,  horse show.

They have been active members of Northern Minnesota Arabian Horse Association since 1966 and have contributed countless hours promoting the Arabian Horse though service as  NMAHA board members, officers and volunteers. 
Without their dedication and hard work NMAHA would not  be as strong and vibrant as it is.  They continue to be a role model for their children and friends to what volunteering is all about.
