Welcome to the American Association of Riding Schools®. 

The nation is full of many excellent riding instructors serving all breeds of horses, styles of riding, and levels of performance. As our Web site suggests, the A.A.R.S. attracts horse enthusiasts from outside the industry, thus serving as a gateway - from the general population, through A.A.R.S. member stables and, for some, on to specialized horse facilities. The A.A.R.S. won the 2002 AIM (All Industry Marketing) Award from WETA (Western & English Trade Association) for the "Best New Product" in the horse industry. WETA representatives called the A.A.R.S. "a department store window to the industry" and "the closest thing we've seen to a Welcome Wagon approach to bringing new riders into the industry."

We just decided that too many people were enrolling in dance, gymnastics, karate, skating, and kick-boxing. There are thousands of backyard stables willing to introduce youth and adult riders to the diverse sport and hobby of horses. It's time we gathered together under a simple set of quality control guidelines so that we can become as visible as the schools in those other industries.

If the novice market interests you, if you own or are ready to own your own program, if you are willing to offer non-breed-biased lessons that includes at least basic english and basic western instruction, hit the "E-mail us!" bar to the left and we'll send you a personal letter and an informative brochure. After receiving it, you can decide whether you would like further information about becoming an A.A.R.S. member program.

Best regard,
