Desert Arabian Horse Association

Welcome

DAHA, a non-profit incorporated association, has as its primary purpose the encouragement, perpetuation, exhibiting, and use of the Arabian horse. Equally important is the dissemination of information regarding the history, characteristics, genetics and husbandry of the breed. To realize these ends, DAHA sponsors and conducts exhibits, clinics, and shows designed to emphasize the outstanding qualities of the Arabian.

The Desert Arabian Horse Association, formed in 1950 by a small group of dedicated Arabian horse owners, is the oldest Arabian Horse Association in San Diego County, and the second oldest in Southern California.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS:

Board Meetings - All members welcome - Every other month - Tuesdays, 7:00 p.m. at CoCo's Restaurant East Main in El Cajon.

This is my 8 year old purebred Arabian, KC Mariah. Here she is with my group, the Victorian Roses Ladies Riding Society http://www.victorianroses.org.

She made her first public appearance driving with the Victorian Roses Ladies Riding Society (normally I ride her in parades with the group) in a performance at the San Diego Polo Club. We were the halftime entertainment. There were only 3 horses driven, all of the others were ridden. Mariah is the only Arabian in the group. Her breeding consists of Aladdinn, Bask, and Fortel. The photo is by Christy Vikander.

DEL MAR– Spectators at the US Polo Association’s Spreckels Cup event on Sunday, Sept. 25, were treated at intermission to an exhibition by the The Victorian Roses Ladies Riding Society featuring Grossmont’s own Jamie Gassert. As John Spreckels, the sugar magnate himself, might have said, “Sweet!”
