Around the Rings: 2026 Palmetto PHC Carolina Cash Show

Photos by Jessica O’Connor Equine Imagery.
The Palmetto Paint Horse Club just finished up their Carolina Cash Show, a $10K added, 2025 APHA Top 20 Show at SC Equine Park in Camden, SC.
The APHA/All-Breed 4 Judge Show on April 18-19 hosted judges Stephen Shank, Don McDuffee, Pam Scott, and John Boxell, with ancillary judges Dan Whitehouse, Tim Jedra, Cynthia Mergaert, and Tom McBeath.
Not only does the PPHC produce APHA sanctioned shows with All Breed classes, but they know how to add family-oriented fun!
This show’s offerings included highlights such as a muscle massage gun, awarded to the exhibitor who entered (entered, not won) the most money classes.
The club also kicked off their Youth World Show Support Fundraiser with a 50/50 Raffle, and they held a PPHC Basket Auction, the brainchild of Julie Kennedy and the Camp Kennedy crew! The auction raised $2,487.00 being applied toward the Summer Showdown Chrome Cash fundraising effort.
