The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) Trail and Distance Department is pleased to announce the 2008 recipients of the 350-mile bronze medallions. Distance medallions are awarded annually to the Appaloosas completing 350 miles in open competitive and endurance rides. Double miles are awarded to Appaloosa that is named “Best Condition,” which is awarded to the horse deemed most physically fit to continue by the veterinarian in an endurance ride. Double miles will also be given to the Appaloosa that receives the most points in a competitive trail ride.

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 and 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.
