The 2010 AHS Annual Meeting will be held February 5-7 at the Best Western Hotel in Concordville, Pennsylvania. The meeting will offer three days of educational programs and seminars on various aspects of the equine industry. Attendees will also be updated on the work of various AHS committees and will have the opportunity to brainstorm marketing ideas. In conjunction with the meeting, a silent auction and catered dinner is held to honor the society’s year-end awards winners in competition.

Programs and Seminars
Ably organized and hosted by the Mid Atlantic Hanoverian Breeders Club (MAHB), the 2010 AHS Annual Meeting will feature an exciting Saturday free jumping clinic at Hilltop Farm in Colora, Md., conducted by the Hannoveraner Verband’s (HV) Joerg Wilhelm Wegener. Talented Hanoverian jumpers at various stages of training will be showcased in this world-renowned training center, and a tour of the facilities is sure to delight every sport horse breeder.

Following the camaraderie of Saturday evening’s catered awards dinner and silent auction, Sunday’s featured keynote speaker will be none other than Dr. Werner Schade, HV Managing and Breeding Director, with insights on the current state of Hanoverian breeding affairs in North America as well as across the globe. Along with important updates from the AHS’s own dedicated committee and board members, the 2010 Annual Meeting promises to be both informative and fun!
