At Fox Point Farm we felt like we needed a new style of open show - an open show to help riders get to the next level! We want to provide you with a location, class list, competition, good judges and other competitors with high goals looking for a place to show their horses. Whether this is your ultimate show or you need to tune on your fancy hunt seater or pleasure horse before a World Show - we have the horse show for you! Great sponsors like Hobby Horse have given us wonderful prizes for special classes! We have added Payback classes to help you win some money! We are also PAC approved (see below) and open to seeking approval from your organization - let us know.

More Information:

Hobby Horse Clothing Company, well known for its outstanding western show clothing, is a new FPF sponsor! In lieu of the donations that Hobby Horse has made in the past to national equine-related associations and scholarships, this year’s new program called Hobby Horse Rookie Rewards provides beautiful ribbons and a gift certificate to the first place winner of a special horsemanship class for novice riders in approved shows. They have provided us with the pattern and rules (all on their website) and riders may only win the class once. Great company, great idea, great pattern, great rewards - you have got to try it too!

Abby Peterson from Waxhaw, NC wins the first Hobby Horse Rookie Reward class held at the March open horse show. Abby, an eight-year-old, second grader at Sandy Ridge Elementary School won riding her American Quarter Horse, Zippintil Dark. Abby received a $100 gift certificate, as well as a blue ribbon from Hobby Horse Clothing Company.

What is the Paint Alternative
Competition (PAC) program?
APHA approves more than 1,200 horse
shows and races, hosts trail rides, and produces a World Championship Show each year. But even with this diverse menu of activities, the
association doesn’t always have an approved or sponsored event in your hometown.

Your community probably offers plenty of competitive events for horses and riders, such as 4-H shows, team pennings, ropings, horse trials, and other activities that fall outside the category of “APHA-approved show.”

Even though APHA is not officially associated with these events, the association does want to recognize your efforts on your American Paint Horse. As a result, your accomplishments can be recorded on your registered horse’s official lifetime performance record through PAC.

A variety of competition
PAC is open to almost any type of activity as long as the competition is sponsored by an organization that keeps official records on the performance of all horses entered in the event.

Keep in mind that for APHA to include the event in PAC, the competition must be sponsored by an association, organization or affiliate that has an established record-keeping, governing body, as well as a representative who will sign a verification form. Also, remember that this program is designed for events outside the approved show ring. You cannot earn PAC credits at APHA-approved shows or at any show approved by another breed registry.

Easy to enroll and report
Although APHA membership is not required to enroll in PAC, you must be a member to receive any awards you earn from the association. Even though you don’t have to own the horse you compete on, annual enrollment of the horse in PAC is required.

You will receive your PAC card and several report forms two to three weeks after your application is processed. Once you receive your card, you are ready to start earning credits.

When you go to your next Paint Alternative Competition, have fun and do your best. When you place in the event, see the event secretary or manager and present them your PAC card and official report form.

Ask the official to inspect your enrollment card and your horse’s registration papers to verify your participation on a registered American Paint Horse. Next, ask the official to sign the report form, which tells APHA how you finished
in the event and how many horses were entered. Then, return the report, along with a show bill or schedule, to APHA within 30 days of the event.

You will then receive APHA credits based upon your placing and the number of horses you competed against, using the same formula the association uses to award points to exhibitors at APHA-approved shows. (Point tabulation is outlined in the current Official APHA Rule Book.)
