"As an association, we wanted to offer more incentives for Paint Horse owners to enter their horses in cutting competition and give greater exposure to these talented Paints," explains APHA’s Jim Kelly. "There are a lot of great Paint cutting horses out there and this is a chance for those competitors to earn points and money at the same time."
