The APHA Professional Horsemen is a new program consisting of Association members who are also equine professionals. If approved for membership, these professionals pledge to encourage professionalism, integrity and fairness throughout the horse industry—particularly the Paint Horse industry.
Potential Professional Horsemen must apply to and be accepted into the program, be APHA members in good standing, provide member references and agree to function as experts at local Paint Horse shows and other equine events, answering questions and promoting the breed and Association.
Approved members pledge to enhance and promote industry professionals of the American Paint Horse Association as the premier purveyors of equine services. The Association serves to foster credibility, proficiency and advocacy, through the endorsement of superior industry standards that will enable professionals to excel in a sustainable career.
