True or false? You have to own a Paint and compete in APHA shows to join AjPHA. If you answered “false,” you are absolutely right!

The truth is there’s something for everyone who loves Paints and wants to be part of the AjPHA family of friends.

We would welcome any candidate suggestions you may have for these new director roles. Board members will participate in focused discussions and also be asked to serve as the lead of one Foundation program, such as the Trainers Crisis Fund, Youth Scholarships, Equestrians with Disabilities, or Heroes on Horses and other Foundation related activities. NSBA Foundation board members also are actively involved in the organization and planning of our annual events at the NSBA World Championship Show providing key input on critical industry topics, expert speakers and other considerations.

“Thanks to an online format, the Breeders’ Trust Select Sale is more convenient and accessible than ever,” Director of Breeders’ Trust Candy Jebavy said. “There’s no hauling, stalling or stress for horse owners, and buyers can get in on the auction from the convenience of their own home.
