How you can help!
The Arabian Horse Foundation thanks all of its donors, as well as the owners who participate in the studies, for their ongoing support. Without support, the Research Program would not be possible.
Whether it is a little or a lot, every donation matters; even $5/year from each AHA member would greatly widen the funding base and broaden the scope of projects.
