APHA regional clubs bring the Paint Horse community to your backyard.
These clubs promote the American Paint Horse through shows, clinics, trail rides, social events and more. Known for their welcoming atmosphere and focus on family values, regional clubs offer a place for like-minded enthusiasts to connect and celebrate the breed.
Clubs are as diverse as the Paint Horse itself, but all share a commitment to education, encouraging quality breeding, and providing opportunities for both competition and non-competitive involvement.
You can join as many clubs as you like—many members belong to multiple clubs for show eligibility and year-end awards. Regional clubs are also a great place to start your APHA leadership journey, with the potential to move into state or national roles representing your local community.
