APHA raises $18,000 for St. Jude's

More than 130 riders "Saddled Up for St. Jude" for a ride sponsored by APHA and Benbrook Stables on May 3 in Benbrook, Texas. More than $18,000 was raised through donations, as well as silent and live auctions. Nearly 60 businesses made donations of money and auction items to help the cause.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram Vice President and columnist Bob Ray Sanders served as honorary trail boss of the ride, along with Texas State Representative Dan Barrett and APHA President-elect John Corbin. Kevin Hardcastle, president of the Oklahoma Paint Horse Club, donated $2,000 from his club.

Colorful twins make their debut at Charlie Daniels’ Twin Pines Ranch
After devoting more than 25 years to raising quality Paints and advancing the American Paint Horse breed, country-rock legend Charlie Daniels recently received the prize of a lifetime at his Twin Pines Ranch—a set of healthy, twin Paint fillies.

The now spunky and vivacious twins, sired by ranch stallion HLF Smokin Ace and out of Ms Paseos County AQHA, were born in the fields of the Lebanon, Tenn., ranch during the morning hours of April 23.

While it is unusual for a mare to give birth to twins and even more rare for both foals to be healthy, the twins known as “Okie” and “Rose” around the ranch seem to be like any normal young Paints. The health and vitality of the foals can be attributed to Twin Pine’s Ranch Manager Thurman Mullins, who has been caring for them around the clock. When the twin Paints were first born, Mullins, like any dedicated horse owner, was concerned that they would be weak and unhealthy.

“We were real tickled when we first realized we had twin Paint foals,” said Mullins. “Then all the negatives I’ve heard about twin foals started jumping around in my head, but so far we have been very blessed.”

Get involved with Paint World Games
As 2008 is an Olympic year, it is especially fitting that it also marks the third international Youth competition, the Paint World Games. This competition, to be held Thursday, June 26 and sponsored by Purina Mills, will feature Youth representing their country in four divisions: trail, showmanship, horsemanship and reining.

Teams will be assigned horses at the show and have a limited, supervised amount of time to work with their horses before competition begins.

This program runs entirely off of donations from generous APHA members and sponsors. If you would like to get involved in a worthwhile program that fosters good international relations at the Youth level, please let us know. Providing horses for the competition, donating money and offering free farm tours for the visiting teams are all ways to become involved.

For more information, visit aphaworldshow.com, or contact the Director of Youth Activities at (817) 834-2742, extension 248, or via e-mail.

Stacy Westfall Clinic!
The APHA World Championship Show is proud to announce that this year’s Educational Seminar will feature Stacy Westfall and is presented by SmartPak. An accomplished horsewoman, trainer and competitor, Stacy has uncovered ways to communicate with your horse that make the reins unnecessary.

Her goal is to have the most clear communication possible with the horse. Having won NRHA and AQHA Freestyle Reining Championships bareback and bridleless, it was no shock when Stacy went on to win the prestigious Road to the Horse competition.

If you want to learn how to “think like a horse” in order to better communicate with your horse for better overall results, then join us on Saturday, June 28th at 2:00 PM at the Watt Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The event is free, so arrive early for the best seats!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colors of the West Gift Show,
an equine shopper’s paradise
The 2008 World Show would not be complete without the popular Colors of the West Gift Show. More than 100 exhibitors will offer the finest products for the equine enthusiasts.

While you shop, APHA will provide live entertainment, clinicians, and seminars in the Purina Mills Colors of the West arena, located in the heart of the Amon Carter Building.

We will also be hosting two exciting events for both children and adults.

On June 28th join APHA and the Colors of the West Gift Show for the third annual Kids Day, from 9 am-5 pm. This is a chance for your kids to ride a real American Paint Horse, compete in barrel races on their Paint stick horse, have their faces painted into their favorite animals, and enjoy the Radio Disney appearance.

Then, on July 4th from 5 pm-8 pm, adults can join APHA for drinks and hors d’oeuvres during our Colors of the West Gift Show Sip & See. The first 250 shoppers will receive a goodie bag full of discount coupons and exciting prizes.

For more information on the Colors of the West Gift Show and hosted events, please contact Jessica McGuirk, by e-mail, or (817) 834-2742, extension 331.

Singing Opportunity!
Can you dazzle the crowd with your singing abilities? Would you like the chance to honor our country and sing at a nationally-recognized event?

The APHA will be selecting National Anthem singers for the World Championship Show, June 22 - July 5, 2008 held at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, to perform the anthem before evening horse show performances.

If you are interested in singing or doing a performance of some kind to the National Anthem, drill pattern on horseback, salute to the flag, etc., please contact Jennifer Frye.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Opportunities
If you have a Paint Horse that has WORLD CLASS TALENT, we’d love to know about it! We have opportunities for performances at our World Show and one might be just for you and your talented horse.

Opportunities range from a training/teaching atmosphere where the “talent” is hosting clinics and seminars to more performance/show oriented opportunities. The Paint Horse is the best breed in the world and we want to make that evident at this year’s World Show!

If you have a horse that could play a part, please contact Jennifer Frye and let us know what your special Paint can do!

Filly Addition!

Moore 6-J Paint Horses of Huntsville, Texas, has offered to upgrade its filly donation to now include Gay Bars Christi, whose trainability and talent are superb. The Moores, outstanding supporters of AjPHA, are donating a yearling filly for the fifth consecutive year.

Gay Bars Christi will be presented to her new owner July 5, the final night of the World Championship Paint Horse Show, in Fort Worth, Texas. Donations for a chance to win the filly are only $10 and can be made on-line at aphfoundation.com. Tickets will also be available during the World Show and from AjPHA members.

The pedigree of a champion
The newly-offered sorrel tobiano yearling filly has the pedigree of a true champion. Her sire, Mr Gay Bar Freckles, has proven himself as a standout in the reining pen. Mr Gay Bar Freckles placed in the Top 5 once and the Top 10 twice at the World Championship Paint Horse Show in reining. Sold in 2006, he made his way to Sweden where he was shown in Amateur Reining at the European Championships, winning Reserve Champion.

The filly’s championship pedigree doesn’t stop there. Her grandsire, Gay Bar Olena, is an APHA World and Reserve Champion reining horse. Her pedigree also extends back to include APHA World Champion and NCHA Money earner Delta Olena. While reining seems to be dominate in her pedigree, Gay Bar Christi’s maternal grandsire, Nu Flyer, earned an APHA Reserve World Championship title in tie-down roping.

Donations for a chance to win the filly are only $10 and can be made on-line at aphfoundation.org. You can also see her in action in a short video.
