NON-PRO
Appaloosa Horse Club Non-Pro Program
Interested in becoming a Non-Pro and competing against other Appaloosa owners at your experience level? If you haven’t joined the ranks of professionals or trainers, then consider becoming a Non-Pro and compete in classes custom tailored to your ability with other Non-Pro’s who share common interests and partnerships with their Appaloosa horses. For only $20.00 added to your ApHC membership, this could be an investment you can’t pass up!

The ApHC Show Department is always on the lookout for good quality candid photos of Non-Pros and their Appaloosas in various disciplines and environments. We need new pictures for promotional use on brochures, display boards, and the ApHC web site. If you have a photo that you think the ApHC can use, please send them to
