Our Members Say It Best

I tried APHA ShowDay online transfer and it was so awesome and innovative. In this crazy situation with COVID-19, the U.S. is not accepting EMS [expedited shipping] that I always use to send papers, so this new system allowed me to continue conducting my APHA business with no delays.
Maiko TakagiJapan
"Last year was my first year to attend the APHA World Show to compete in the ranch horse events. This year I plan to come back to compete in both the Amateur and Open instead of attending other ranch horse world championship events that I have also qualified for. I want to spend my money where I get the greatest value and fun for my time. No other association offers as many individual ranch horse classes as APHA does. Overall I was thrilled with the show and I’m excited to come back."
Jessica RumbaughEl Campo, TX
"If you're not taking advantage of APHA Xtras for your Regional Club or yourself, you're missing out! One trip to Office Depot using my APHA Xtras code saved me almost enough to pay for one year APHA membership!"
Randall RoserLutz, Florida
“Big shout out to the APHA Xtras program for saving us a lot of money on our new John Deere lawn mower! APHA members are missing out if they’re not taking advantage of this benefit.”
Patty BakerOlympia, WA
“I was in a panic because I had a show in a few days and realized I had not renewed my Amateur card. I called APHA and they were so helpful and reassuring. Best of all, moments later I received my Amateur card via email! APHA’s customer service is second to none—thank you!”
Kristin MaceySacramento, CA
“We own a small ranch in beautiful Colorado with our retired halter horses. We want the best and feel John Deere provides that. We saved nearly $1,000 with our recent purchase of a John Deere Z535 mower and HX Gator from 4Rivers Equipment using our APHA Xtras benefits. We use our Gator HPX815 for spraying, tilling and pulling our manure spreader and the snow plow for clearing our roads. It was super easy saving with APHA Xtras and we would absolutely recommend using it. Who doesn’t like to save money?”
Jackie WeathermanBerthoud, CO
"Thank you for sponsoring the Regional Paint Horse Championship classes; it was a great opportunity for me to try out APHA shows and ultimately led me to the APHA World Show. I have met so many wonderful people as a result of my involvement with APHA. You have a wonderful association and I’m proud to be a part of it."
Tori WhiteChehalis, WA
“Clubs, don’t forget about our APHA member benefits! For your shows, the Office Depot/Office Max discount is priceless. I had 75 copies of a 9-page premium done this week to take to our July show, and totaled (print cost, collated, and stapled) $19.83! That is a savings of $85.12 using my APHA discount. FANTASTIC! It’s such a wonderful benefit, and everyone should take advantage of it!”
Diane AlvesBallico, CA
"After owning and showing other breeds for 25+ years, I recently registered my mare with APHA and became a member. Everyone has been super helpful and friendly during the process of getting my mare’s double registration secured. And I just received my first issue of Chrome magazine—WOW! It leaves other equine magazines in the dust! Showing and owning a stock breed horse should be fun and inclusive. Thanks, APHA, for getting it right. I’m so excited to begin my Paint journey!”
Nancy HannahSiler City, North Carolina
I just completed the online registration of my colt and I have to say, "Hats off to APHA!" It was very easy and took me only a few moments. Love it!
Delores KuhlweinGlendale, Arizona
APHA is working harder than ever to foster trust among its members. The transparency that has been created on multiple levels over the past few years is much appreciated and reassures me, as a member, that directors, committee members, club officers, Executive Committee and staff are all working on my behalf.
Monika HagenHaldenwang, Germany
I have never felt so welcomed into any organization! I just love the APHA. You all have answered all of my questions without making me feel shy and I have always been met with a smile and encouragement. As a new competitor, I can’t tell you how much this means.
Kristin LoewenthalSonoma, California
Thanks to the APHA Xtras program, I was able to save on my recent Ram Truck purchase. The process was easy and definitely worth my while!
