The American Paint Horse Foundation offers unique educational, historical and charitable opportunities

Offering scholarships, bronzes, and trainer services, as well as many other opportunities, The American Paint Horse Foundation (APHF) gives Paint Horse enthusiasts incredible savings and unique ways to support educational, historical and charitable projects.

Annually, The Foundation provides several $1,000 college scholarships to exemplary youth members, which are funded by programs including:

• An annual trainer services sale, which allows the public to purchase one month of an expert’s time at a discounted fee
• APHA cookbook, featuring nearly 300 APHA member favorites
• Warm-up classes, which allow competitors schooling classes at the APHA World Show

The Foundation promotes the preservation and archival of historical Paint Horse artifacts through efforts such as the Legacy of Color bronze series, which is presented in return for tax-deductible donations of the public. The bronzes depict the various color patterns found in the breed with a scene of a galloping stallion pushing his band of two mares and foal.

To meet its goals through private support, the Foundation is structured as a tax-exempt organization according to Internal Revenue Service requirements.

The Foundation was created January 1, 2006 by a merger of the American Paint Horse Association’s (APHA) Youth Development Foundation (YDF) and Heritage Foundation (APHHF). For more information, e-mail rteate@apha.com or achoate@apha.com, or call (817) 834-2742, extension 422 or 410.
