Markel APHA Professional Horsemen

Overview

The Markel APHA Professional Horsemen program recognizes APHA members who are honest, upstanding equine professionals. Program members commit to promoting professionalism, integrity and fairness throughout the horse industry, particularly within the Paint Horse community. They actively promote Paint Horses and APHA at shows and other equine events. The program was established in 2009.

Certified professional horsemen receive a certificate and logo for use on business cards, advertisements or websites. CINCH Jeans provides new program members with a complimentary long-sleeve, button-down shirt embroidered with the official program logo. Additional shirts are available for purchase at the PH Barn Door, where Pro Horsemen have access to other exclusive items.
