| MCTB is now authorized for Paint Alternative Competitions! |
What is the Paint Alternative Competition (PAC) Program? Through the Paint Alternative Competition (PAC) program, you can get recognition from the American Paint Horse Association for accomplishments in competitive events that are approved by the APHA.
Even though APHA is not officially associated with these events, the association wants to recognize your efforts on your American Paint Horse. As a result, accomplishments can be recorded on a registered horse’s official lifetime performance record through PAC.
PAC approved competitions must be sponsored by an organization that keeps official records, for up to one year, on the performance of all horses in the event. The organization must have a representative who agrees to keep records and will sign a verification form for the exhibitor.
APHA membership is not required to enroll in PAC, but only members will receive any awards earned from the association. You do not have to own the horse you compete on, but the horse must be enrolled in PAC annually.
PAC credits can be earned once the enrollment form is received in the APHA office. You will receive credits based upon your placing and number of horses competing against you, the same formula APHA uses to award points at APHA approved shows.
When you place in a PAC event, complete the official exhibitor report form. The report form tells APHA how you finished in the event and how many horses competed. The exhibitor report must be signed by a show official. The report form, along with a show bill or schedule, must be returned to APHA within 30 days of the event.
