Mission

Founded in 1966, HPPHC is recognized by the American Paint Horse Association and is located in APHA’s Zone 3 region. High Plains Paint Horse Club is operated as a Colorado non-profit corporation:

To promote and encourage good horsemanship and good sportsmanship
To promote and stimulate interest in the Paint Horse on a regional basis by educating the public about the qualities of the breed
To promote the showing of registered Paint Horses
To cooperate fully with other regional Paint Horse Clubs and with the APHA to further the cause of the Paint Horse Breed

By Laws and Show Rules

HPPHC is an organization dedicated to promoting, breeding and showing the American Paint Horse. High Plains Paint Horse Club is a registered organization whose breed shows are sanctioned by the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). HPPHC members compete to earn club points for club show and year-end awards, and APHA points to win APHA Zone 3 awards and APHA national awards. Zone 3 includes Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, though we regularly also see exhibitors from California, Texas and Utah.

Volunteer

Get involved. HPPHC is a completely volunteer organization, so if you have extra time at a horse show or a special skill you can share – we need you and your talents! Contact our Club President, Becky Osborne to see how you can help.

We also want to hear from you about how we can make the horse shows better – so just drop us a line or get involved with our club!

There are additional ways that you can volunteer- please reach out to any Board Member to share your ideas or get ways to help!
