THE RACING HALL OF FAME AND TENT OF HONOR

The RHOF & TOH Board consists of the following individuals...

Paul Husband
Deborah Mihaloff
Loren Nichols
Bobbi Patscheider
Sandy Wollpert

We the board feel that the RHOF & TOH should be the highest award a horse or person can be given in Arabian Racing. Unlike the Darleys that are awarded every year, the Board felt that these awards in particular should showcase only greatness and may not have a person or horse to be inducted every year.

The word Great means "much higher in some quality or degree: much above the ordinary."

Having said that, we the board feel that the RHOF & TOH should adhere to the original Mission Statement and Rules that were set by the Arabian Horse Trust Board. They state the following.

Mission Statement

"The horse shall have made a significant contribution to Arabian racing in the United States through the horse's own performance and the performance of its progeny".

"The person nominated shall meet the criteria of length of service to the breed, courage to do what is best for the horse, be above reproach, devote to the horse and community and provide service in the areas of leadership, heritage, education, and / or research.”

Rules

Tent of Honor

15 years in the Arabian horse industry having raced 10 years. Owner, Breeder, or Doer.

Racing Hall Of Fame

Mares will have had to race for 3 years with at least 3 Stakes wins, and foaled at least 3 Stakes winners. and retired from racing for 5 years.

Stallions will have had to race for 3 years with at least 3 Stakes wins having sired at least 5 Stakes winners, and retired from racing for at least 5 years.

Geldings could be considered for inclusion into the Racing Hall of Fame providing the gelding was of superior race performance over an extended period of time and have "Star" recognition such as Magna Terra Smoky.

It was addressed and approved by the Arabian Horse Trust Board that the Racing Hall of Fame and the Tent of Honor will now fall under the AJC.

Anyone who would like to nominate a horse or person who meets the Rules and Mission Statement for the RHOF & TOH should contact the AJC or one of the Board members on the Committee.
