Auburn Resident Influential in Horse Circles

Aurora, Colo.- Six months after being elected as President of the Arabian Horse Association (AHA), a 35,000 member breed association in Aurora, Colo., Auburn resident, Lance Walters, was elected to the Board of Trustees of the American Horse Council (AHC). In addition, Walters serves on the Board of Directors of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF).

Walters brings a wealth of knowledge and horse experience to the Board of Trustees. During his 29 years of involvement with the Arabian horse community he has fulfilled roles as amateur, club officer, regional director, breeder, owner, exhibitor, commissioner, commission chair, vice president and now president. His experience as a horseman, combined with his personal business experience gives him great insight into the corporate side of the horse business.

"I am very happy to become an AHC Trustee," says Walters. "Since Arabian horses are involved in racing, showing, competition and recreation, our owners and events are greatly affected by federal actions."

A recent new release from the AHC says, "Mr. Walters brings many years of horse experience to the AHC's board, and is a welcome addition to an impressive group of horsemen who currently make up the AHC Board.

AHA is a major equine association serving 37,000 members across North America. It registers and maintains a database of more than one million Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses and administers approximately $3 million in annual prize money. AHA produces championship events, recognizes close to 600 Arabian horse shows and distance rides and provides activities and programs that promote breeding and ownership.
