The equine racing year has come
to an end, and the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) is proud to
recognize individuals who experience success racing their
Breed of Choice…the Appaloosa! The association annually honors
owners, breeders and trainers for their accomplishments with
the fastest color breed on the tracks.
Please join us in congratulating the following individuals
who were honored in 2009:

won more than $24,000!

Appaloosa Racing
Appaloosas have long been an integral part of one of America’s
most popular spectator sports—horse racing. The Appaloosa
Horse Club (ApHC) officially recognized the sport in 1962,
beginning Appaloosa racing history with four races and 23
starters competing for $12,000 in purse money. In 2008, 186
Appaloosas competed in 399 races for $3.1 million in total
purses.
Racing fans can find Appaloosas crossing the finish line in
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nevada,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
