Help us in our effort to make the Nebraska Paint Horse Club an APHA "Club of Distinction" this year.  We were in the honorable mention category last year but we need to step it up this year.  You can help by bringing food to our Labor Day POR for our food drive campaign.  Community Service is part of the program.  Click here for details
