Paint Racing

Overview

Speed-bred Paint Horses are favorites for down-the track racing and barrel racing competition. Their athleticism, trainability and blazing speed make them favorites among owners, breeders and fans who love to cheer on these gritty competitors who are full of heart. More than $3 million is up for grabs annually for Paint racing and barrel racing horses at events across North America, and it’s easier than ever to take your own shot at glory in the winner’s circle.

Programs

Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program makes it easy for barrel racers to be a part of APHA with Paint-exclusive side pots at events across the country. Turn and burn for your shot at more than $140,000 awarded annually.

Paints add a splash of color to down-the-track racing. From 200-yard sprints to “cookin’ round the hook,” Paints run for about $3 million annually at tracks across the U.S. and Canada.
