Paul Reinbolt of Woodburn, Ky., was named president-elect of
the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) at the organization's
2003 Annual Convention, held recently in Milwaukee, Wisc.

During Reinbolt's most recent term on the executive committee,

APHA logged a record 4,695 entries in that show, which included
1,800 horses over a 14-day period.
Since its formation in 1962, APHA has registered more than
743,000 horses in 43 nations around the world. APHA has been
registering new American Paint Horses at a rate of about 60,000
per year, making it one of the fastest-growing breed registries
in the world.
Reinbolt joins an executive committee that includes Tom Elliott
of Benson, Ariz.; Carl Parker of Marriott-Slaterville, Utah;
Richard Cox of Knightstown, Ind.; Alice Singleton of Mount
Vernon, Ark.; Carl Thurow of Ulysses, Kan., and Forrest Nelson
