In 2014, APHA will offer $1,000 cash awards to five clubs for use at a regional club-sponsored Paint-O-Rama show or one- and two-judge shows hosted by the club in 2014. Clubs are only be eligible for the sponsorship once in a two-year period, and they must be in good standing with APHA.

When meeting these qualifications, MPHC pays your entry fees for all youth walk-trot, amateur walk-trot, novice youth, or novice amateur classes plus your respective halter class. Exhibitors are expected to pay stall fees, office charge, and entry fees for any classes entered other than those designated ‘Novice.’

Each of the following 14 shows counts for a minimum of one show and two judges—to qualify for the APHA World Show, a Paint Horse must have participated in at least four shows and eight judges.

Jennings adds, “The Super Sale has posted completed sales of around 85% over the last several years, which is an excellent percentage sold, even in a strong economy. The 2013 sale average price of $5,619 showed an increase of 4% over the 2012 auction. ”

Youth and Amateur Rookies of the Year earn trophy buckles and custom Cowboy Bronze trophies painted in the likeness of their horses.

Judges for the event will be Chris Jones, Gretchen Mathes, Charlene Carter, and Will Knabenshue.

“Winning this title three years in a row is incredible, and I still can’t believe it, even thought I knew I had a really good horse and that it could be done.”
