Professionalism, integrity and fairness are key qualities of an outstanding horse professional—if these qualities embody you or a Paint professional you know, become part of APHA’s Markel Professional Horsemen program. These individuals pledge to promote the breed and the association at local Paint Horse shows and other equine events, while upholding the core values of the program and APHA.
To qualify, an applicant must be an equine professional, an APHA member in good standing, complete an application, pay annual dues of $25, and pass a Professional Horsemen Committee review.
Certified members receive a certificate suitable for framing, a pin and a logo to add to their business card, ad or website. Members are listed on the APHA/Markel Professional Horsemen Directory on the program web page. CINCH Jeans provides a complimentary long-sleeve, button-down shirt embroidered with the official logo annually to all program members.
