PHJ press release by: Laura Jesberg
APHA’s commemorative brick project is selling out. Don’t miss this opportunity to honor the establishment of your Paint Horse club, your family, ranch, favorite horse or your contribution to APHA with a commemorative brick, available in two sizes.
Proceeds from the sale of APHF bricks benefit the creation of a permanent, physical Hall of Fame at the APHA headquarters. The Hall of Fame will eventually house artifacts, exhibits and memorabilia, recognizing people and horses that have been instrumental in the progress and success of APHA and the Paint Horse breed.
“It’s important to remember and preserve our past,” Executive Director Billy Smith said. “The beauty of the Pave a Paint Pathway program is that members will see its effects almost immediately as we lay these commemorative and memorial bricks in a very public setting.”

Bricks purchased will be located along the front steps of APHA’s international headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Your choice of a 4-inch by 8-inch brick or 8-inch by 8-inch brick will be showcased in a premier spot. Each 4-inch by 8-inch brick is only $250, and each 8-inch by 8-inch brick is $475. For an additional $100, brick purchasers can receive a second brick with the same engraving that you can keep forever.
Approximately 40 4-inch by 8-inch bricks are still available, any two of them can be combined into an 8-inch by 8-inch brick. Don’t be left out of this special opportunity to permanently leave your mark at APHA.
