Online Silent Auction
This year our annual silent auction will be ONLINE for the first time. We know how fun it is to have it in person but we hope to have some more fantastic donations for this year!
Interested in donating? Please visit our form at https://forms.gle/qhpdNaazUpoZRU2h8

Donations for our annual Silent Auction help GAHA host educational activities & programs for the entire equestrian community and support GAHA programs such as GAHA Give Back Program as well as ensure a bright future for our Arabian breed locally so we all can enjoy the Arabian Horse for years to come. We are committed to the Arabian, Half Arabian and Anglo-Arabian community in Georgia and with your assistance we hope to expand awareness of our horses and events!

This silent auction will be an online auction that will take place during January 2021.
