The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) is pleased to announce a continued and expanded “Appaloosa presence” at the Ohio Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio, Apr. 10-13, 2008.

The ApHC will host an information booth and stall in the Cashman Breed Pavilion, where visitors can meet a live Appaloosa horse, view video footage of Appaloosas and their people in action, talk to Appaloosa enthusiasts and find information about ApHC programs and Appaloosa horses.

A Regional Club booth is located next to the ApHC booth. More interaction with Appaloosa owners, information on local Appaloosa shows and events, Appaloosa horses for sale and Appaloosa stallions for service is available there.

Appaloosa owners from Ohio and surrounding areas have their horses and farms represented in the Horse & Farm Exhibits barns. Several of these “Appaloosa Ambassadors” will take part in the Appaloosa breed demonstration to illustrate why Appaloosas are the “Breed of Choice”. Appaloosas will also be featured in the Young Rider Pavilion where youth can get to know the Appaloosa horse.

For information on having your Appaloosa in the Horse & Farm Exhibit area this year, or in the future, contact Kim Welch at (937) 644-2614 or via email at twshowhorses@imetweb.net.

An ApHC Town Hall Meeting will be held Friday, Apr. 11, in the conference area at the Cashman Breed Pavilion with the ApHC President and area Director(s) on hand. These idea and solution generating meetings are being held across the country in response to the desire of members and ApHC Directors for more communication and response on the local level.

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 or 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.
