Ms Jill Willoughby

Buying my first Arabian in 1990 I consequently “saw the light” and bought and bred more than 20 purebreds and derivatives since then. I was heavily involved with WAAHA as Chairman for several years in different times with 150 plus horses entered in our shows. Loved every minute and met the best Arabian horsey people making lifelong friends along the way. I led and supported wonderful committees of like-minded people through many challenges to promote the breed.

I worked in Government for 36 years retiring 6 years ago to run two charities which I manage and have brought to being in the best place financially, providing more and better services and planning improvements in to the future. I bring a vast and broad business knowledge, am honest and fair.

I see a positive future with amazing horses being complemented with local and international breeding and would like to be involved with that and I bring another perspective to the AHSA Board with my hands-on and business experience. Our breed needs to continue to grow and encourage new and also entice past members back and I am sure with the stability and integrity of AHSA this will continue.
