After corresponding with the good folks from the Arabian Horse Assn, we
have applied and been approved for their open competition program.
Their program is similar to the Paint Horse Assoc. PAC program, in that
purebred Arabian horses who compete at our open shows, may accumulate
points. These points have their own awards and recognition system and
the points become permanently contained in the horse's records.
Arabian also allows for riders who are not the owner to gain points.
The website will explain everything to you.

If you are a member of the Arabian Horse Assn., it would be a good
choice to enroll your horse/rider. You are competing anyway; you might
as well take advantage of the program and get those valued points on
your horse's records.
