PURPOSE:
The purpose of this organization
shall be to foster and advance horsemanship, sportsmanship,
and good fellowship in the Northwest area of Arkansas, and
to better insure cooperation
between riding clubs of the area.
HISTORY:
The Association of Northwest
Arkansas Riding Clubs was formed in 1970 to provide a series of
open breed horse shows in Northwest Arkansas. Over the
years, ANWARC has evolved into a
highly successful association of area riding clubs, each of whom host a show under the
direction
of ANWARC.
These shows are open to all exhibitors and all breeds. Membership in our association is not
required to show your horse. However, our year end award system is certainly worthy of your
consideration! Our biggest
year was 2005, when an unprecedented total of $15,000 in awards
was distributed.
To be eligible for year end awards, an exhibitor
must be a member of one of our member clubs
before points will accrue. Please refer to our Rule Book for further eligibility
requirements.
Membership applications to most of our clubs are available to download from our Member
Clubs page.
