The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) is pleased
to announce a continued and expanded “Appaloosa presence”
at the Ohio Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio, Apr. 10-13,
2008.
The ApHC will host an information booth and stall in the Cashman
Breed Pavilion, where visitors can meet a live Appaloosa horse,
view video footage of Appaloosas and their people in action,
talk to Appaloosa enthusiasts and find information about ApHC
programs and Appaloosa horses.
A Regional Club booth is located next to the ApHC booth. More
interaction with Appaloosa owners, information on local Appaloosa
shows and events, Appaloosa horses for sale and Appaloosa
stallions for service is available there.
Appaloosa owners from Ohio and surrounding areas have their
horses and farms represented in the Horse & Farm Exhibits
barns. Several of these “Appaloosa Ambassadors” will take
part in the Appaloosa breed demonstration to illustrate why
Appaloosas are the “Breed of Choice”. Appaloosas will also
be featured in the Young Rider Pavilion where youth can get
to know the Appaloosa horse.
For information on having your Appaloosa in the Horse &
Farm Exhibit area this year, or in the future, contact Kim

An ApHC Town Hall Meeting will be held Friday, Apr. 11, in
the conference area at the Cashman Breed Pavilion with the
ApHC President and area Director(s) on hand. These idea and
solution generating meetings are being held across the country
in response to the desire of members and ApHC Directors for
more communication and response on the local level.

The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938, with
a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa
breed. The ApHC has since registered more than 670,000 Appaloosas,
which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence
and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely
versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline,
including racing, endurance riding or serving as reliable
family horses. The international breed registry is headquartered
in Moscow, Idaho; the heart of the Palouse region, the Appaloosa
breed’s namesake and point of origin.
