AHRY
American Haflinger Registry Youth
The goal of the AHRY (American Haflinger Registry Youth) program
is to educate and entertain the younger members of our Haflinger
society. Through newsletters and social gatherings at AHR events,
AHRY members will gain understanding of the Haflinger breed and
feel a sense of belonging within the Haflinger Community. It
is our hope that your participation in the AHRY program will
lead to enhanced knowledge and lifelong friendships.
All AHRY members are eligible to compete in our contests, with
the keystone of our program, being the
D. Lee Wilson Jr. Memorial Scholarship, which is presented annually
to a deserving AHRY member. AHRY membership is open to any youth 18
or under (at the time of sign-up) and the annual membership rate is
$10. Members need not own a Haflinger but they MUST share a love and
interest in the breed!
Benefits of AHRY Membership include:
Quarterly Newsletters
AHRY Contests
Gatherings at AHR Sales and Shows
Join us!

D. Lee Wilson Jr. Memorial Scholarship

showed, a very special AHRY member will be chosen to receive this award
each year. Senior AHRY members (senior AHRY members are those who are
between the ages of 16-19) are encouraged to apply for this very distinctive
scholarship. Past winners of the scholarship have come from very diverse
backgrounds and have had varied involvement with their Haflingers -
from showing to using them for farm work, pleasure driving, and trail
rides. The scholarship money can be used for many things such as vet
school and farrier courses to equine summer camps and college classes...
the possibilities are endless! Be creative, and tell us why you should
win this award! If you are interested, please fill out the Scholarship
