The Ontario Paint Horse Club offers something for everyone. Our aim is to promote and enjoy the American Paint Horse, whether in the show ring, on the trails, or simply at home in the backyard. We strive to maintain a club atmosphere suitable to encourage high moral character and sportsmanship among our members, and to develop the capabilities of our Youth and Amateurs in the breeding, raising and exhibiting of Paint Horses.

Each year the club sponsors approximately 20 Shows throughout Ontario. As well as earning APHA Points, Ontario members can earn OPHC Points and are eligable for a vast array of Year End awards that are presented at our annual banquet each January. As well as the appropriate high point awards, trophies are given for the Most-Improved and Most-Sportsmanlike Amateur & Youth.

The OPHC offers a full line of classes for Youth, Novice & Amateurs.

This year the Ontario Paint Horse Futurity, held in conjunction with the Canadian International Paint Horse Championships, will award over $10,000 in cash and prizes to horses 2 and under, and the Maturity offers added money classes for 3 & 4 year olds.

For those members showing in non-APHA venues, the club has an Outside Competitive Activites Program (OCAP) that can earn them certificates for achievements with their paint horse outside of the clubs activities.

Recently an Achievement Award program was added which recognizes participation for members who may not own their own horse or ride.
