SMALL HORSE PROGRAM

The ApHC is opening its doors to registered Pony the of Americas Club (POAC) horses to also become ApHC Small Horse Program certified, thereby allowing them to compete in various ApHC programs, including in classes approved specifically for ApHC Small Horse certified horses at regional shows, plus the Appaloosa World and National Championship Shows beginning in 2021 as part of its newly-adopted Small Horse Program.

If you have questions regarding the Small Horse Program, please contact the Registration Department at 208.882.5578 ext. 300 or

e-mail us at registration@appaloosa.com. We’ll be happy to walk you through the process so that you have that desired ApHC Small Horse Certificate in your hands in no time!

If you or someone you know would be interested in donating an Appaloosa, we'd love to hear from you. We have an "exhibit pasture" on the museum premises giving summertime visitors the opportunity to get acquainted with our breed. Tickets are sold throughout the year and the drawing is held (usually) in October. In exchange for your donation of a raffle/exhibit horse you can receive a tax deduction along with the gratitude of all who appreciate and support the Appaloosa Museum.

Contact Crystal at 208.882.5578 ext. 279 or by email at museum@appaloosa.com .
