This is it! This is where you collect our signature Saddle Charms – available exclusively to members. You can obtain your saddle charms in a variety of ways, but they can only be earned, not purchased! Every charm has a story, and it’s up to you to tell it.
From fun photo contests to challenges designed to inspire and motivate, we’ve got loads of excitement for you!
Every AHA! member starts out with our signature Sassy logo charm, and we hope you join us in these Charming Challenges to grow your collection. Snap them on your saddle and bridle, hang a token on your backpack or keyring, or just wear them as jewelry – we can’t wait to see all the creative ways you display your charms!
Charms can only be earned, not purchased!

Curious how you stack up?
Facebook Photo Fun
Strike a pose! These weekly photo contests are posted every Sunday night. Set your alarm and start sharing early, because the member’s photo with the most likes at the end of the week wins!
Does your horse have the pretzel-iest pose to get at the grass on the other side of the fence? Show us! Contest categories include topics like “best matchy outfit” and “muddiest mess” so we know everyone’s Haflinger is ready to be a star. Next week’s top photo might already be on your phone!
We’ll announce the winner when the next topic gets posted, and then send them a distinctive camera charm so they can show off their modeling mastery to everyone in the barn!
Note: to help spread the love, members may only win one Facebook Photo Fun contest per month. If the winner has already won, second place will get the charm.
Monthly Motivations
Sometimes, you just need a little motivation to get out to the barn, am I right? Or, maybe you’ve ridden one too many circles in the sandbox and need some inspiration. That’s where we come in!
Each month we’ll give our members a challenge (a charming challenge, of course!) designed to encourage fun and promote trying new things with your Haflinger. Might a few be slightly outside of your comfort zone? Sure – that’s the whole point! But we promise nothing will be too crazy. Some don’t even include working your horse.
Are you busy training hard and competing and don’t have much time left for added extracurricular activities? Do you work all week and only make it out the barn on the weekends? That’s okay! We’ve got you in mind, and most of our challenges should easily be accomplished in an hour or so per week. Plus, join us on the Members-Only Facebook Page for a weekly check-in to share your progress and see how others have been doing! Make it to four weekly check-ins and complete the challenge to get your unique charm.
Each challenge has its own charm, so hang with us each month and collect them all!
To participate, visit the Members-Only Facebook Page!
When your check-ins are complete, request your charm here!
April Showers bring May Flowers! Now that you’ve started with the spring cleaning, it’s time to beautify! Maybe you give that fresh clean coat a show clip and trim. Perhaps your freshly de-cobwebbed barn gets some fresh flowers planted out front. This challenge is all about little extras that will make you smile when you walk by. Each week in May add a little beauty to your Haflinger-life and share about it (don’t forget before and after photos!). Use your imagination and earn a charm for crossing off that to-do list! (And since we’re so late in posting, you have until June to finish your glamor shots!)
June: Bugs!
Stay tuned….
