About Region 5
The Arabian Horse Association's Region 5 encompasses Alaska, Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana.
Region 5 has earned the respect of Arabian horse competitors across the country. Whether for show, endurance or dressage, horses from the Pacific Northwest are among the best in the nation.
The quality and caliber of our Region 5 horses are evident by the results of highly competitive shows such as the U.S. Nationals, Canadian Nationals, and Scottsdale.

Youth Mentor Program at 2016 Cascade Youth Show
The Region 5 Board, Youth Director, the Cascade Youth Benefit Show and the Pacific Rim Arabian Horse Association are proud to offer a Youth Mentor Program at the Cascade Youth Benefit Show. Youth can sign up to follow key show staff for two hour increments.
The program is designed so our youth learn what it takes to run a horse show and they get to experience the "behind the scene" events. Youth can apply these hours to their volunteer hours for the year end High Point Program.
Also the Pacific Rim Arabian Horse Association has offered up a $100 prize to the youth that spends the most in the mentor program at the show.
Please email competed forms to midnighteclipse@rainerconnect.com
