Hall of Fame

The IBHA Hall of Fame committee was first established in 2008 and the first inductees were awarded at the 2009 IBHA Convention.  If you are an IBHA member and would like to nominate a current or former IBHA member or an IBHA-registered horse, please submit a nomination form.

Congratulations to the 2025 IBHA Hall of Fame inductees:
