LETTER FROM HEADquARTERS The role of youth in an organization like the American Paint Horse Association is two-fold. Members of our association recognize that youth hold the key to our industry’s health—if we cultivate a love of Paint Horses in our children, we’ll ensure APHA a bountiful future with a new crop of owners, breeders and exhibitors flowing into the industry as adults. Just as important, however, are the life skills youth learn from their Paint Horses and their AjPHA involvement. Horses teach and reinforce essential life skills: responsibility, President Dr. Travis Titlow 3030 Wise Road., Lincoln, CA 95648 (916) 645-1850 (phone/fax) travis1125@yahoo.com sportsmanship, teamwork, communication and problem-solving, just to name a few. Involvement in AjPHA is a great way to foster children’s love of Paint Horses, and a peek beneath the surface reveals an iceberg of opportunities for Youth, whether they own a Paint or not. Annual competitions like the Great Paint Brush-Off, AjPHA Photo Contest and Short Story Contest allow Youth to showcase their artistic and literary skills. Youthfocused articles are found in the “J Zone” section of the Paint Horse Connection and Paint Horse Journal are a great way to encourage children to read about a topic that already has piqued their interest. This year, the AjPHA Youth World Championship Show—which takes place June 24–July 2 in Fort Worth, Texas—is an all-Youth event. Chock full of clinics, off-horse activities and competitions like the Youth Team Tournament, Paint for a Day and Youth Horse Judging Contest, we’ve got fun activities planned for children of all ages, no matter if they’re competing or attending as spectators.

Active Youth may be rewarded with scholarships as they prepare to enter college. In 2010, the American Paint Horse Foundation awarded $46,000 to AjPHA members from around the country. Many APHA regional clubs award scholarships to their members, as well. It’s our responsibility as members of the APHA community to foster the development of the next generation of Paint Horse lovers. Take time to allow a young spectator to pet your Paint Horse, invite a local 4-H or FFA group to your farm for a Paint-themed clinic, or simply spread the word about the great opportunities AjPHA has to offer. In doing so, you’ll sow the seeds to create a bountiful future for Paints and our association.
