On May 1, 2003, the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) rolled out
its new website, www.ArabianHorses.org,
which combines the content, features and functions of the former
www.iaha.com,
www.theregistry.org
and www.arabianhorseamerica.com.
The new full-service site is easy to navigate and updated daily,
offering a true one-stop shop for Arabian, Half-Arabian and Anglo-Arabian
owners and enthusiasts. Containing almost 1,000 pages, it is the
most comprehensive and accessible resource now available about the
Arabian breed and AHA. Highlights include:
NEW DESIGN
A new design makes certain navigational buttons a fixed part of
the page no matter where on the site you are. The remaining portion
of the page will change according to where the user is in the site.

MEMBERS ONLY SECTIONS
All current members may access the two separate Members Only sections
currently being hosted by two servers, the former IAHA server and
the former Registry server. Until the database systems are fully
integrated, separate logins will be required. Members will be able
to access either Members Only section the same way they did prior
to the merger. The IAHA portion of the Members Only section requires
a membership and pin number. The Registry portion of the Members
Only section requires a membership number and password. Both secure
areas are located side by side with information regarding what members
can find on each one. Current members who do not have access will
receive instructions that allow them to log on.
