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!
As we wrap up the virtual show, we’re still in a video kind of mood. Plus, we saw some great things we think folks should share. So this is a two-part movie-making challenge for all, whether or not you participate in our virtual show.
Part #1 – share your video tips and tricks! Have you come up with a great way to video your rides, without a helper around? Have you landed on the PERFECT height and angle to be the most flattering to our food-enthusiast equines? Do you have a trick for getting good quality out of a cell phone recording? Do you have a favorite app for easily splicing video clips together? Share it ALL! We want to know!
Part #2 – make your movie masterpiece! Take everything you learned in part 1, prepare to win your Oscar for best editing, and create your video. The theme is “The Haflinger Minute” – show us what that means to you!
Share them both to earn your “Action” charm!
October: ???
Stay tuned….
