Achievements unlocked at 2025 PAC World Championship E-Show

This fall, APHA’s Paint Alternative Competition Program hosted its 6th Annual PAC World Championship E-Show, utilizing the innovative APHA E-Shows platform. The event opened August 1 and concluded October 20, 2025.

Alexis Grant & Smoken Chic Hollywood

Exhibitors practiced and filmed their patterns throughout August, September and October, recording their performances and sharing them via platforms like YouTube or Vimeo with their entries. Judges Casey Orr and Lillian Evaniew-Phelan evaluated entries to select this year’s PAC World Champions.

Our 2025 PAC World Championship E-Show High-Point Exhibitor was Alexis Grant of Wallsburg, Utah. She showed Smoken Chic Hollywood, a 2022 black solid mare. The duo won championships in Ranch Reining, Ranch Trail and Trail Walk-Trot. She also earned reserve in Cutting (Flag), In-Hand Trail, Ranch Rail Pleasure, Showmanship, Showmanship (Walk Only), Western Horsemanship Walk-Trot and Western Versatility Pattern.
