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 in Virginia.

 

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 be encouraged to become involved. We offer show opportunities. If you're not interested in showing, we also offer educational clinics, organized trail rides & the fellowship of other horsemen.

 

 

How does VPA promote palomino horses?

VPA offers a Youth association, tabulates the PHBA points you accrue and rewards excellence at an annual banquet in the winter of each year. VPA will also offer a Futurity Show representing the offspring of nominated Palomino stallions.

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 activities like organized trail rides, open horse shows and clinics, on the events page, too!

 

Who are VPA members?

Residents of Virginia are automatically enrolled into VPA upon becoming members of the national organization, PHBA. (Your PHBA dues include your state affiliate 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 and Championships, as well as PHBA World Show qualification. VPA also offers circuit high point awards.
