Airena signs as new sponsor
of APHA World Show

FORT WORTH, Texas— The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) is pleased to announce it has secured a new sponsor, Airena Hi-Performance Dust Suppressant, for this year’s World Championship Paint Horse Show, which will be held at the Will Rogers Equestrian Center in Fort Worth, Texas June 26–July 9.

“We are excited about participating in this year’s World Show,” said Mike McPherson, director of marketing for Airena. “This sponsorship gives us the opportunity to introduce and share the benefits of this innovative new dust suppressant to Paint Horse owners, trainers and riders.”

Airena is a breakthrough in dust control, McPherson said. This Hi-Performance Dust Suppressant can reduce the amount of airborne dust in an arena by up to 70 percent, creating a cleaner, healthier and safer riding environment for both riders and their horses, according to Airena.

Two APHA arenas, The W.R. Watt and the outside practice arena, will be amended with Airena, giving show participants the opportunity to test its effectiveness, added McPherson. “We hope to get the word out to as many riders as we can,” said McPherson. “We’ve spent several years researching and creating this product to ensure it meets the high quality performance standards that Paint Horse riders expect.”

Airena will showcase a booth display in the Amon Carter Exhibit Hall #308A.
