Virginia Palomino Association 

 

 

Welcome to the Virginia Palomino Association  website!

 

As a state affiliate of the Palomino Horse Breeders of America (PHBA), the Virginia Palomino Association (VPA) exists to promote & represent the PHBA registered palomino horse, particularly in the commonwealth of Virginia. 

  Welcome to VPA!  Have question? Well, perhaps we can cover them with a bit of Q & A:  

What is VPA? The Virginia Palomino Association [VPA] is the Palomino Horse Breeders of America [PHBA] affiliate in Virginia. VPA is a non-profit organization, incorporated in the commonwealth of Virginia. In short, the purpose of VPA is to promote PHBA registered palomino horses,  particularly in the Virginia area.

How does VPA promote palomino horses? Come to a palomino show! Not only will the horses, themselves,  impress you with their talent & beauty but you'll also be welcomed by a friendly atmosphere,- a key trait of all PHBA functions! Watch for other acitivites (organized trail rides, open horse shows, clinics, etc.) on the calendar, too! 

Who are VPA members? Residents of Virginia are automatically enrolled into VPA upon becoming members of the national organization, PHBA. (Your PHBA dues are inclusive of your state affilite dues.)  PHBA members living in neighboring states that don't have affiliates may declare VPA as their affiliate, too. Out-of-state residents are also welcomed to join VPA as associate members for an additional fee.

Are VPA palomino shows PHBA approved? Yes! VPA sponsored palomino shows are recognized by PHBA and points earned are nationally recorded. Accumulated points are required for various PHBA titles [such as Register of Merits, Superiors, Championships, etc.], as well as PHBA World Show qualification. VPA also offers circuit high point awards.   
 
 
Well, does my palomino horse qualify for PHBA registration? If your horse meets the criteria listed in the PHBA registration rules  the answer is, "Yes!". [Please note that, as of 2007, the PHBA "white rule" has been relaxed.] 
 
 
Why join VPA? VPA is a group formed by palomino horse enthusiasts, for palomino horse enthusiasts. It's our desire that every member have a voice & we encourage involvement.  We offer show opportunities. Not interested in showing? We also offer educational clinics, organized trail rides & the fellowship of other horsemen. If you like yella horses, join VPA & get involved!

We would like to let everyone know, if you hadn't heard, that our 2006 President, Bruce Pfaff, suffered a severe horse related accident. He's presently in rehab. All thoughts and prayers for Bruce and his family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
