The Arabian Horse Association of Southern California (AHASC) was founded in 1944 under the initial name Arabian Horse Breeders'
Society of California by Joanna Phillips of Glendale, California. The group was formed to promote the Arabian breed, educate
owners on proper care, and study the history and characteristics of Arabian horses. Phillips served as the group's first secretary
and treasurer and R. Warren Phillips served as the first president. The name was officially changed to Arabian Horse Association
of Southern California in 1950.

that has gone on continuously since 1944; and film recordings of two of the Annual All-Arabian Horse Shows.
