Becoming an AAHC NEIGHborhood Champion offers a powerful opportunity to make a real impact. AAHC NEIGHborhood Champions can take lead on a community initiative in their county, organize social events, or organize meet-up trail rides in their neighborhood.
When you become a Champion, you can become a key connector within your local horse community. We ask that each NEIGHborhood Group organize 4 social events per year. The are designed to be simple and strategic, create valuable opportunities for horse enthusiasts to network, share experiences, and discover new resources.
Each event you host becomes a catalyst for collaboration, sparking new ideas and strengthening community bonds. As an AAHC NEIGHborhood Champion, you’ll become a recognized leader, building trust and fostering valuable relationships within your local equestrian network. AAHC provides the tools, resources, and a simple framework to support your efforts, making it easy to create impactful and engaging events. Together you and AAHC can make a significant difference in the lives of horse people in your county.
