Hart Trailers and APHA renew partnership, members benefit

FORT WORTH, Texas—The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and Hart Trailers recently renewed their long-standing partnership. As a result of the agreement, Hart Trailers—the official trailer of APHA
—is offering a complimentary one-year membership to the USRider Equestrian Motor Plan to every APHA member who purchases a new Hart trailer in 2008, beginning February 1.

The sponsorship opportunity benefits many APHA members, considering
many spend a lot of time on the road with their horses. USRider is a nationwide roadside assistance plan created especially for equestrians. It includes standard features such as flat-tire repair, battery assistance and lock-out services. The membership also includes towing up to 100 miles and roadside repairs for tow vehicles and trailers with horses, along with emergency stabling, veterinary referrals and more.

“USRider is the most recognized roadside service organization in the equine community,” said Hart Trailers President Anthony Hart. “The service is a great value to anyone traveling with horses. We are happy to extend this peace of mind to our customers.”
