Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association (OPtHA) History

The 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 OPtHA continues to grow. We encourage new membership and new ideas that are brought into the club by new members. The OPtHA 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. 

  • We have futurity classes that are held at our show in August and at the Tulsa State Fair.

  • Exhibitors may also compete for high point and year end awards.

  • We have a royalty contest and scholarship programs available for the youth.

  • We also offer seminars and have special events for members and non-members alike.

  • We are the host club for the Pinto World Show that is held in Tulsa, Oklahoma in June and the Pinto Congress in November.

  • The OPtHA puts out a newsletter every other month and a magazine once a year.

Come & join in where the action is, be part of a winning team, become an Oklahoma Pinto Horse Association member today!
