Saddlebred World Loses Jim Aikman

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of James "Jim" W. Aikman. His exceptional dedication and passion for the American Saddlebred will be greatly missed. He was one of the strongest advocates, innovators, and leaders of breeding promotion the breed will ever know. Jim's legacy will be remembered through his All American Cup program, the impact of the horses he bred at Hide-A-Way Farms, and the tremendous mentorship he offered to our community. Among the many acknowledgments of his contributions to the breed, he was the recipient of the 1989 CJ Cronan Sportsmanship Award, 2006 ASHA Lifetime Achievement Award, and 2016 ASHA Meritorious Service Award.

We send our deepest condolences to the Aikman family. Information on services and memorials will be shared as they become available.
