About Us:

On January 31, 2004 a meeting was held at MSU's Horse Teaching and Research Center, to discuss a Futurity that is a combination of the three clubs, Arabian Horse Association of Michigan, West Michigan Arabian Horse Association and Half-Arabian Association of Michigan. The meeting was a huge success for each of the clubs and a bigger and better Futurity is on its way. We are referring to the Futurity as The Michigan Arabian & Half Arabian Breeders Futurity".


Mission Statement for the Michigan Arabian and Half-Arabian Breeders Futurity

The Michigan Arabian Breeders Futurity was established to organize, manage and promote an annual show wherein members of the three participating associations, Arabian Horse Association of Michigan, West Michigan Arabian Horse Association and Half-Arabian of Michigan may collectively exhibit the young Arabian and Half-Arabian horses produced by their individual breeding programs.

The annual show will provide halter and performance classes for weanlings through four-years-old, fillies, colts and geldings, competing for substantial prize money. The Futurity is a "stand alone", unrated, non-profit, jackpot funded event. The cost of the show and the class premium are borne by the participating members in nomination fees, office expense, stall rentals and class entry fees. Enriching funds will be obtained by sponsorship. Much of the labor will be supplied by the volunteer members of the participating associations.

The show will be an educational and enjoyable event for breeders, owners, families and spectators and of special interest to those who love the personality, intelligence, grace and beauty of the Arabian and Half-Arabian horse.
