Lexington, KY - The American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) has begun the transition to a standardized once-annual membership renewal period.

This enhancement will standardize the annual renewal deadline and membership period for ASHA members, as well as simplify and streamline the renewal process for ASHA members and staff. The new standard annual membership period will be from December 1, through November 30 of the following year.

As of June 1, 2011, all ASHA members renewing in 2011 will have the option of renewing their membership through November 30, 2011, or November 30, 2012. Membership fees will be pro-rated from the renewal date, and November 30, 2011. Additionally, ASHA will offer a 5% discount to members opting to renew through November 30, 2012.

For members who have already renewed in 2011, and whose membership will expire before November 30, 2012, upon renewal in 2012, membership fees will be pro-rated to November 30, 2012.

Memberships can be renewed online via the ASHA website, here.
