About AjPHA
Founded in 1974, the American Junior Paint Horse Association is the Youth division of the American Paint Horse Association. All who are 18 years of age and under (as of January 1) with an interest in Paint Horses are invited to join the “j.”
AjPHA members enjoy the same membership benefits as adult APHA members and can participate in APHA-approved shows and programs. AjPHA also offers activities geared toward Youth members, including a leadership conference, art and photography contests, a virtual series contest, a horse judging contest and more!
As an AjPHA member, you are part of a huge family of friends sharing a common bond—a love for the American Paint Horse. AjPHA offers something for everyone, no matter how long you have been riding, where you live or the discipline you enjoy.
