Delmarva Paint Horse Club Winter Newsletter 2013-2014 December, January, February As we begin our 23 rd year as a club, we d like to take a moment and reflect on the past 22 years. Of the small group of people that formed the Delmarva Paint Horse Club in August of 1991, many of them, along with their families, are still active in the horse industry in the Mid- Atlantic region. Some still own and/or show Paint horses. It takes a lot for a small club to remain active and we want to take a moment to say Thank You for all of your efforts! As we strive every year to make our shows bigger, give great prizes, and keep the Paint Horse alive on the Delmarva Peninsula, we welcome new ideas and suggestions. Please contact any officer or bring your suggestions to the Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday, January 11 th, 2014. May you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Delmarva Paint Horse Club was formed on August 1, 1991 by a small group of Paint Horse enthusiasts who wanted to promote the American Paint Horse in the State of Delaware and on the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia. A junior/youth club was established in 1997. This gave our youth members the opportunity to hold their own special events, fundraising activities, awards and recognition of achievements. The DJPHC has also been very active in community service and supporting various charitable organizations. In recognition of Delmarva Paint Horse Club's achievements and charitable contributions it has been awarded the APHA Gold Star award every year since 1995. The club has been awarded the APHA Club of Distinction Award in 2002 and 2004, also receiving APHA Club of Distinction Honorable Mention in 2006 and 2008 and a Certificate of Participation in 2010.
