EuroPaint Remains on Top as APHA’s No. 1 Show of 2022

PHJ News

The 2022 European Paint Horse Championships in Kreuth, Germany, once again claimed the honor of producing the largest APHA-approved show of 2022. In a year where most shows reported a slight decrease in entries compared to their 2021 figures due to economic challenges, “EuroPaint” grew in 2022, reporting 1,504 entries per judge at their event that took place in August 2022. The show is sponsored by the Zone 12 Coordinating Committee.

APHA congratulates the following Top 20 Shows for 2022 and their producers, sponsors, managers, secretaries and exhibitors. These producers receive exclusive logos from APHA designating their event as a Top 10 or Top 20 show, so keep your eyes open for those special designations.
