The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) announced new dates for its 2021 Eastern and Western national championships. One show also was relocated.
Sponsored by APHA, the National Championships are each four-judge shows offering championship trophies, prizes, APHA points and national championship titles. Qualifying is not required.
Eastern National Championship Show
The 2021 APHA Eastern National Championship Show will now be held Sept. 16-19 at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida.
Officials with the APHA said they worked with the Florida Paint Horse Club to develop a mutually beneficial solution for the show, which also is being held in a new location.
