\"\"Hallmarks include $100,000 in prizes, beautiful American Paint Horses and activities galore <\/em><\/p>\n

The AjPHA Youth World Show showcased the talent of both the Paint Horse breed and the young people who exhibit them with 73 world-title classes in a full array of disciplines, in addition to a handful of assorted other classes specifically for the youth competitors. Youth are classified as competitors ages 18 and under who are required to show a horse they own personally or owned by a family member.<\/p>\n

In all, both the breed and the upcoming generation were well represented by 326 horses and 1,150 entries during the course of the nine days\u201a worth of activities where the Association presented over $100,000 in cash and prizes. World and Reserve World Champions received Gist trophy buckles, and top ten finishers received a variety of other valuable prizes from sponsors and APHA. Total payout in the six jackpot classes offered (barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, heading, heeling, and steer stopping) reached $1,525, with the largest total sum of $333.75 going to Marcus Banister of Brighton, Colorado.<\/p>\n
