Title

The WAHO Trophy is a unique bas-relief bronze sculpture of the “WAHO horse” logo. The sculptor is a German artist, Mrs. Brigitte Eberl. Each WAHO member country participates in their own award.

Since 2005 the UK WAHO Trophy has presented annually to one UK bred Arabian horse chosen by the AHS Council from nominations submitted to them. WAHO asks that the AHS should look for an Arabian horse which has in some way been an excellent “ambassador” for the breed or, in the case of older horses, has achieved the same through its immediate progeny. Furthermore, the WAHO Trophy can of course be awarded for a different reason or category each year. WAHO also asks our Society to give this careful consideration, and use broad parameters when making the choice.

Eligibility
The winner must be a Pure Bred Arabian registered in the Arab Horse Society Stud Book and have been bred and still domiciled in the UK. It must also be present at the Show to receive the award.

The Trophy & Certificate

The bas-relief bronze sculpture is an Annual Challenge trophy, so it must be returned to Agriculture House by end February 2023 to be awarded to a new winner in July at the AHS National Championship Show

A special Certificate commemorating the award will also be provided by WAHO, suitably inscribed with the name of the winner and presented as a permanent reminder to the recipient of the wonderful achievement.

How to nominate a horse for the WAHO Trophy
