Thanks to those AHA members who have mailed, faxed or e-mailed their "Sponsor a Subscription" cards and forms back to the Arabian Horse Association. Your dedication is the first step in introducing as many people as possible to our historic and versatile breed. Launched June 1, the 2008 Sponsor A Subscription Drive encourages every single active member of AHA to consider one person or group he or she personally thinks will enjoy the Arabian horse experience and sponsor a subscription for them to Modern Arabian Horse. It can be a relative or a neighbor or even a friend who you think would share the same passion and bond you have with Arabian horses. It could also be a business, like a local library, doctor's office or your veterinarian.

For a more detailed outline of this most important initiative, please turn to the Sponsor A Subscription editorial between pages 30-33 in the October/November issue.
Sponsorships are $25 for a one-year subscription or $60 for three years. With the sponsored subscription, the recipient will receive a letter notifying them that their subscription to Modern Arabian Horse was sponsored by a member of the Arabian Horse Association. Further, every member and the subscriptions they sponsor will be highlighted in an annual status report-part of the June/July 2009 issue of Modern Arabian Horse. Each issue will feature the list of individuals sponsored and their sponsors for the current issue.

For each subscription to Modern Arabian Horse an active member sponsors and submits, he or she will be entered into a drawing of three Grand Prizes valued at $1,000 each.
