Aachen Horse Academy
Established in May 2002 as an independent foundation, AHA aims at the
relationship of horse and man as a fundamental dimension of civilisation
and culture
The primary purpose of the Aachen Horse Academy foundation is to support
and promote an international, interdisciplinary approach to
understanding the history of the horse in society. Simultaneously, it is
to provide an educational forum for all those who wish to reinforce
their passion for horses and horse related activities with solid
knowledge and comprehensive facts. The objective of the Academy is to
gather under one roof varied enterprises and research projects focussing
on the past, present and future of the horse and horsemanship in art and
culture.
In its meeting of 7 November 2002 the FEI Executive Board agreed to
active cooperation between the FEI and AHA on matters of common
interest. Two FEI representatives would be appointed as members of 1)
the AHA Kuratorium and 2) the AHA Scientific Advisory Council, an
Internet link would be established between the FEI and AHA; and
international AHA events would be published in the FEI Calendar.
