Letter from the President

Hello Folks

Looking forward to a great year with Oklahoma Pinto, and making new friends and enjoying the old ones. Our club being family orientated, we have been working hard to put together a more cost friendly show bill, with added classes to better cover the needs of our show people as well as reducing prices where we could.. We have put in a few therapeutic classes, which are not ROM, but will give the challenged riders a place to come and enjoy our shows too.

There will also be a cook-out at the May Show, hosted by the Dunbar Family, and in August the Youth/Amateur Olympics. This is hilarious to watch. You will just have to come and join in to see everything that happening with our club this year.

More news will follow on the three saddles that we will be awarding this year with the requirements. We have also added high point show halters for those that do not ride, Requirements are being worked out, and will be posted on the web site under Awards soon.

I would like to invite you and your family and friends to come to the General Membership meeting, March 16th, 1pm at the Best Western Tulsa Airport, I-244 & Garnett. A pot luck dinner, so bring your prize dish to share with your friends.

We will also be holding the annual Youth bake sale auction, so get to cooking and bring your best pie, cake, or goodie to auction. This will enable the youth to get off to a better start this year.

I want to personally thank all you members for your support of our shows last year, and welcome you to come and share the fun for 2008.

Your President,
Ralph

The Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association (OPtHA) charter held it’s first horse show in 1959. The association is a non-profit organization. It’s purpose is to promote and encourage the general interest and breeding of pinto horses. Also to promote good sportsmanship and good fellowship among the owners and lovers of pinto horses and to improve the general condition and welfare of all horses.

The rules of the Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association are governed by the national organization, the Pinto Horse Association of America, Inc. The Pinto Horse Association of America, Inc. was established in 1956 as primarily a color registry. Today the association has grown to offer four conformation types - Stock, Hunter, Pleasure and Saddle. There is also a separate division for ponies and one for the miniatures.

Two color patterns are recognized - Tobiano and Overo, as well as a breeding stock division for animals who do not have enough white to meet color registry requirements.  The Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association puts out a newsletter every other month, a magazine once a year and has a website.

OPtHA Membership

The Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association continues to grow. We encourage new membership and new ideas that are brought into the club by new members.

The Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association has many pinto shows as well as fun shows that are open to all breeds. There are events and activities throughout the year that promote a family friendly atmosphere and fellowship among the members.

• On-site national registration is available for horses, ponies and miniatures that qualify.
