Riata Breeding Horse Association

Welcome to the Riata Breeding Horse Association (RBHA). One of the oldest associations in Riata, the RBHA was first created in late 2004, and run by a member who is now inactive, causing it to shut down. Later, in late August 2005, seeing the need for an active place to enable the breeding population of Riata to compete consistently in, Elaine chose to revive it, and the RBHA has been active and running smoothly ever since.

The RBHA's main goal is to provide a friendly, professional atmosphere for the proud fathers and mothers of Riata to show, and a place where they can compete against each other to prove their worth. Due to the many specialised discipline shows constantly held, the competition horses of Riata are usually in the limelight, pushing back recognition of Riata's other "side", the breeding aspect, aside. As so, RBHA strives to give each horse equal ground to compete on, and recognition for the extremely important part they all play in Riata history.

Monthly shows are held to give breeding horses consistent chances to show, with large amounts of prize money awarded to winners of each class. In 2007, the Inspection Initiation was started, a programme to rate the registered horses. In December 2008, the classlist was revised, and a general vote decided that youngstock classes would be removed from the RBHA classlist. This resulted in a much neater and more understandable classlist, as well as making it much easier to tabulate points for year-end awards. 2009 marks a big year of change for the RBHA, for the plan is to market the RBHA to all the breeding population of Riata and draw in both stud and broodmare owners to compete. Slight changes in show rules were also established to ensure all horses competing are breeding stock, and there are more plans underway to activate the Inspection Initiation, as well as launch the new 100 Day Performance Test, 10 Day Mares Test, and the Star Program.

The RBHA was created to serve the breeding population, so if you, the participants, have any inquiries, ideas, complaints, or wishes, feel free to express them, and I will do my utmost best to incorporate it into the association.

RBHA monthly shows are held at Phoenician Stud.
