Amidst the horse show classes and vast array of other activities scheduled during the annual Youth World Championship Paint Horse Show, the AjPHA (American Junior Paint Horse Association) makes use of the gathering of its constituents to vote on and elect representatives to its leadership board.
The AjPHA and its parent organization, the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) formally announce and welcome the young people who have been elected to the 2010-2011 American Junior Paint Horse Association’s Executive Committee.
