APHA is here to help your regional club thrive, and the regional club resources listed below include additional support and benefits available for you to access all the time. Resources include officer responsibilities and resources for running the club, club benefits including discounts and sponsorship program and marketing tools such as logos and promotional merchandise.
Belonging to a regional club gives members the opportunity to be associated with a world-wide organization that shares the common goal of promoting American Paint Horses. Their individual and club involvement might help positively impact the future of the breed.
Being a chartered regional club provides several additional benefits including access to exclusive discounts.
Insurance Discounts
Regional clubs often find themselves in need of liability insurance for many of their events during the year. APHA has made special arrangements with Specialty Program Insurors Inc. to offer protection to clubs for a number of events, including horse shows and trail rides. For more information, clubs may contact this company at 800-338-3313 and mention that they are an APHA regional club.
Free Membership List
A regional club officer may request one free list annually of APHA members in their governing area. Contact the APHA regional club manager for more information.

You can also download and fill out a printable certificate to present as a tangible thank you for their hard work and commitment.
For guidance, refer to our Regional Club Tool Kit.
The officers of the club should be the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Other officers may be authorized by the club’s board of directors.
All historical records for the club should be maintained by the officers of that club and forwarded each year to any new officers; or they should be maintained for safekeeping in a safety deposit box or other secure facility.
