The American Paint Horse Association’s (APHA) 2013 calendar entitled “Unique By Design” was recently debuted at the organization’s 2012 AjPHA Youth World Championship Show and is now available to the public through the APHA General Store.

The 12-month calendar celebrates the distinctiveness of the American Paint Horse and features striking photography submitted by the very heart of APHA—its members. Each month also contains a fitting quote. The Paint Horse Journal, the association’s official publication, sponsored a photo contest where over 600 photos were submitted for consideration. Voting was held at the association’s international headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas, and winners were selected by a panel of judges based on a strict set of criteria.

APHA would like to congratulate the winners of its 2013 Calendar Photo Contest:

Amy Alford, Madison, Miss.; Anna Bishop, Wetumpka, Ala.; Doug Carpenter, Sulphur, Okla.; Kimberly Estrada, Granada Hills, Calif.; Meg Frederick, St. Louis, Mo.; Rachel Gunnerson, Rodeo, Calif.; Lorie Hager, Kerrville, Texas; Amelia Johnson, Cloquet, Minn.; Sherry Marx, Prescott Valley, Ariz; Megan Mulqueen, Frisco, Colo.; Sandy Warren, Benton, Miss.

With so many impressive entries, a poster was also created to showcase the one hundred-plus photos that advanced to the semifinal round of the contest. The complimentary poster is packaged along with each calendar.
