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 |
