Albuquerque, NM -- For the second straight year, the Pennsylvania Palomino Exhibitors Association was selected to receive the national APA Service Award (Class A, for small PHBA Affiliate club of under 100 members). The award was made at the 2003 PHBA National Convention on March 15. The APA Service Award is based on club activities including PHBA Horse Shows, non-show events, Palomino promotion, club member recognition, community service, timely reporting to PHBA, and youth/amateur member involvement. Other 2003 APA Service Awards went to IPEA of Iowa in Class B (medium club) and PEAO of Ohio in Class C (large club).
