PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
APHA has posted some big news. Their Paynt point program is opening up to Open division entries and they will have bonus monies paid out to horses with obvious colour. Please read the complete article and be fully informed on what your horse is eligible for.
My first thoughts on this program were cautious optimism, but with the direction it's taking, I am more and more on board. If you have not received a payout on your points for the 2025 shows yet, please contact APHA. There is some necessary information they'll need from you to issue a cheque. You'll also need to ensure your coloured horses are eligible for the bonus offered for 2026.
Mark your calendars for our annual meeting and awards luncheon, February 8, 2026. It's always a fun afternoon and we look forward to celebrating your 2025 show season accomplishments! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates and tickets.
Until then, Stay Cozy!
Liz
