The American Junior Paint Horse Association (AjPHA) is on a mission to find youth between the ages of 13 and 18 to become a Paint Possible Agent and serve as a member of the Paint Possible Team.
The Paint Possible Team will focus on the future of youth in the American Paint Horse industry and will serve throughout the year in providing feedback to the APHA on its concepts and ideas for its youth program.
The Paint Possible Team will begin its first mission on June 26 during the Summer World Championship Paint Horse Show in Fort Worth, Texas, with its first team of agents taking part in a strategic mission session where the ideas, opinions and dreams of the agents will be explored. Agents can come from any horse-related background and no Paint Horse ownership or membership is required. Only 16 youth will be selected.
Once the mission has been defined, Paint Possible Team members will continue to be contacted electronically throughout the year and will be given a secret pass into concepts and ideas before they are made public.
“For youth who are looking for another way to serve in a leadership role or affect change in a growing youth horse environment, this is a great opportunity to get involved,” said APHA Director of Youth Activities Candice Lancaster. “You can apply online through June 8 to become a member of the team.”
Selected youth will be notified by June 15 and must be able to attend the first session June 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch will served and Paint Possible Team members will receive special Paint Possible gear at the meeting.
