Calizona ApHC submitted a colorful scrapbook describing their
2007 activities and efforts in promoting Appaloosa’s and enhancing
the Appaloosa experience. Calizona ApHC displayed its most
notable accomplishments throughout the years, such as pioneering
major shows and exhibiting Appaloosas in the world renowned
Rose Parade in Pasadena, Cali.
The club was founded in the early 1950s, though the exact
year is often a topic of debate. Throughout the years Calizona
ApHC has proven to be a resilient club. While Calizona ApHC
and its members have experienced ups and downs, they have
never faltered in their mission of promoting the Appaloosa
breed.
“The Calizona ApHC is an excellent example of our active regional
clubs working for the benefit of the Appaloosa community,”
Merida McClanahan, ApHC Director of Marketing, said.
The exemplary regional club award is presented
annually to the regional club that is an example for others.
This program encourages clubs to be active with their members,
help to boost membership in both the regional and national
club, as well as promote the Appaloosa horse. Clubs are scored
on selected criteria ranging from open and breed shows, to
trail rides and clinics, to local community and charitable
participation.

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.
