Official American Paint Horse Association

Official American Paint Horse Association Official account of the American Paint Horse Association | Marked For Greatness✨

Beginning with approximately 3,800 horses in the registry, over 1 million Paints are registered with the Association today. APHA ranks second in the number of horses registered annually in the United States, making it one of the largest horse breeds in the world. Although the APHA's primary mission is to record pedigrees, the association is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history, breedi

ng, training, racing, showing, sales and enjoyment of American Paint Horses. More importantly, the heart of the APHA lies in its members, which is why the association strives to develop and sponsor programs that reflect their interests and their love of the American Paint Horse. The APHA's goal is to encourage American Paint Horse owners to find fulfillment with their horses in whatever activities they find most enjoyable, and to give members the opportunity to share in the pleasure of Paint Horses.

As we wrap up Women's History Month, we want to highlight our founder, 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭.

A natural-born horseperson, Rebecca learned about horses from the cowboys she grew up around and gained a reputation as an excellent breeder of fine horses. In 1962, she rallied 16 fellow horseman to preserve and elevate colorful, stock-type Paint Horses and formed the American Paint Stock Horse Association, the precursor to APHA.

She made significant contributions to the Paint Horse breed, producing numerous top show and breeding horses. Cherokee Maiden, Rebecca's first registered Paint, became a cornerstone matron, and her descendants continue to excel in working arenas today.

Rebecca's promotional skills, excellence as a horse breeder and dedication to beautifully colored horses began the movement that made the Paint Horse into one of the fastest growing breeds in the world.

Our Story

The American Paint Horse Association promotes, preserves and provides meaningful experiences with Paint Horses.

“When I look at my Paint Horse, I see the colorful legacy of his past. With a personality and independent spirit so powerful, it bubbled to the surface in a wild series of beautiful markings. Each one a gifted heirloom from his ancestors; showing me just where he’d been, but never revealing quite where we are going.

Greatness doesn’t fit in a mold; it doesn’t follow a trend. It defies it, holding fast to who it was meant to be. Greatness is not simply for the chosen few but instead for those brave enough to seize it. The moment I saw this horse, I knew he was clearly never meant to shy in the shadows, he defiantly stood like a beacon of individuality with crooked and winding chrome almost glowing through his skin.”
