Support American Junior Paint Horse youth,

and you might be the lucky winner of a fine filly

FORT WORTH, Texas—If you have been looking for a colorful cow-savvy filly with impeccable bloodlines, or simply a beautiful Paint Horse to enjoy for recreational riding, don’t miss the chance to win Peppilenas Gaybar, to be given away soon by the American Junior Paint Horse Association (AjPHA) and the American Paint Horse Foundation.

The Foundation will present Peppilenas Gaybar, a stunning yearling tovero filly, to her new owner on July 5, during the final night of the APHA World Championship Horse Show in Fort Worth, Texas. The entire show runs June 21 through July 5.

Donations for a chance to win the filly are only $10 and can be made on-line at aphfoundation.com. Tickets will also be available during the World Show and from AjPHA members. All proceeds from the Filly Fund-raiser will benefit youth scholarships and leadership programs.

The pedigree of a champion

Take one look at Peppilenas Gaybar’s pedigree and it is easy to see she was bred to be a champion. Sired by Gay Bar Delta Doc and out of Gay Bars Peppilena, the filly is a descendant of Delta Flyer, who was the foundation of the Paint performance horse program at 6-J Paint Horses. The 1986 NCHA Super Stakes Open Champion and earner of $260,670, Delta Flyer can be seen on the filly’s sire and dam pedigrees. Delta Flyer is the only Paint Horse with both sire and dam in the NCHA Hall of Fame.

The filly’s champion bloodlines don’t stop there. Her pedigree also includes APHA World Champion and NCHA money earner Delta Olena, as well as APHA World and Reserve World Champion reining horse Gay Bar O Lena.

This year marks the fifth consecutive year AjPHA has offered a filly as the grand prize for its fund-raiser. And, each of those years the talented fillies have been donated by Floyd and Maryann Moore, owners of 6-J Paint Horses in Huntsville, Texas. The Moores are known to produce some of the most talented cow-bred Paint Horses in the industry, and they have presented AjPHA with one of their top fillies each year.

More information about the Moore’s Paint Horses can be found on their Web site at 6jpainthorses.com.

Supporting AjPHA

Each year the money raised through the Filly Fund-raiser is used to support the youth scholarship program and fund the annual Youth Leadership Convention. APHA is proud that through efforts such as this, the American Paint Horse Foundation has been able to present nearly 500 scholarships worth approximately $500,000 over the past 25 years to youth members. Many of these scholarship recipients have gone on to be leaders in the equine industry and other related fields.

“Growing up with AjPHA and showing Paint Horses allowed me to participate in various fundraising opportunities through the years,” said current scholarship recipient Adriane Smith. “Once college was approaching I decided to apply for an APHA scholarship. Receiving a scholarship has been extra special for me because of my involvement in the fund-raising activities, that help fund the scholarships, such as the Filly Fundraiser.”
