Mission & Purpose

In contemplation of the Merger of the Arabian Horse Registry of America (AHRA) and the International Arabian Horse Association (IAHA) into the Arabian Horse Association (AHA), the Purebred Arabian Trust (PAT) was formed on September 17, 2002 as a nonprofit corporation under the Colorado Act, Section 501 (c)(5) for the purpose of aiding, promoting, and fostering the preservation and use of purebred Arabian horses and the Arabian breed and to engage in undertakings incidental to or designed to further promote these objectives. Underlying this purpose is the intent to guarantee that the purebred Arabian horse, the purebred registry, the historical pedigree database and the operating system that runs the purebred Arabian Registry is protected and preserved for future generations.
