An association as special as its members
The American Paint Horse Association was founded in 1962 by like-minded horsemen and -women who loved the ability and speed of the western "stock" type horse, but also appreciated the extra eye-appeal of the American Paint.

Beginning with approximately 3,800 horses in the registry, almost 1 million Paints are registered with the Association today. APHA ranks third in the number of horses registered annually in the United States, making it one of the largest horse breeds in the world.

Although the APHA's primary mission is to record pedigrees, the association is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history, breeding, training, racing, showing, sales and enjoyment of American Paint Horses.

More importantly, the heart of the APHA lies in its members, which is why the association strives to develop and sponsor programs that reflect their interests and their love of the American Paint Horse. The APHA's goal is to encourage American Paint Horse owners to find fulfillment with their horses in whatever activities they find most enjoyable, and to give members the opportunity to share in the pleasure of Paint Horses.

Your membership means a great future for the American Paint Horse
