Now an APHA event, cowboy mounted shooting opens a new market for racing-bred paints.
CMSA Partnership Opens Up a
New Market for Speed-Bred Paints Breeders and owners of speed-bred Paint Horses might consider marketing their horses to a new market: cowboy mounted shooting. APHA recently announced a new partner- ship with the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association, open- ing up new avenues for Paints competing in CMSA events. Cowboy mounted shooting continues to grow in popu-
larity. Competitions highlight exhibitors’ marksmanship and horsemanship, requiring them to pilot their mount through a course at a gallop while accurately shooting balloon targets from the saddle. Demanding speed, agility and a good mind, cowboy mounted shooting is a natural fit for speed-bred Paint Horses.
APHA Incentive Means Substantial Savings for Older
Horse Registrations American Paint Horse Association registration fees for older horses are now more affordable, thanks to the registra- tion special currently offered. Older horses with at least one Paint parent who are eligible for either Regular Registry or Solid Paint-Bred registration are impacted, and any APHA member may take advantage of this special pricing. Horses eligible for Regular Registry ages 2 and older may be
registered for just $100, while horses ages 3 and older who are eligible for Solid Paint-Bred registration may be registered for $50. Members who choose to complete the registration online can save up to $400 when registering Regular Registry horses ages 2 and older and $50 when registering Solid Paint-Breds ages 3 and older. Horses with two Quarter Horse or Thor- oughbred parents, commonly called cropout horses, are not
APHA as soon as possible—this will avoid year-end award dis- qualification for having not reported a gelding status change. To report a gelding, complete the Request for Corrected
Certificate form and submit it to APHA along with your horse’s original registration certificate. The change will be made free of charge, and a corrected certificate will be mailed to you in two to four weeks, unless a rush fee is paid.
ARCI Identifies 24
Approved Drugs In an effort to standardized drugs approved for therapeu- tic use in racehorses, the Association of Racing Commis- sioners International recently announced a list of recom- mended regulations for 24 permitted drugs. According to a Daily Racing Form article, the rules will still need to be adopted by individual racing commissions before they go into effect. Drugs not included on the list will be prohibited in post-race samples at any level.
New Mexico Ramps Up Fines
and Drug-Testing Budget Perhaps in response to the 2012 dermorphin scandal that
had roots in New Mexico, the state’s Governor Susana Mar- tinez signed legislation authorizing the New Mexico Racing Commission to boost fines for violators up to $100,000 and doubled to the state’s drug-testing program’s budget. According to a Daily Racing Form article, an annual total of $700,000 from parimutuel taxes will go toward the state’s drug-testing program for racehorses.
