The
Appaloosa Horse Club Hall of Fame was established in 1986
to recognize the unique contributions and positive impact
individual horses and people have made on the ApHC. Each
year, the ApHC Board of Directors votes on nominations received
from the ApHC membership to determine which horses and people
will be inducted. Since 1986, the ApHC Hall of Fame has
been expanded to include Racing and Trail, and now consists
of over 200 inductees.
The ApHC Racing Hall of Fame, established in 1988, inducts
one horse and one person each year. Nominees to the Racing
Hall of Fame are voted on and approved by the Executive
Race Committee. The first Trail Riders’ Hall of Fame induction
was in 1999. Members of the Trail Riders’ Hall of Fame earn
their inductions automatically after completing 50 ApHC-approved
trail rides of 5 days or more.
Horses must be ApHC-registered and must be deceased by the
nomination deadline to be eligible for nomination to the
ApHC Hall of Fame and Racing Hall of Fame. However, ApHC-registered
horses both living and deceased may be inducted into the
ApHC Hall of Fame automatically if they achieve one of the
following:
• A stallion earning a bronze Supreme Sire Production
Plaque by siring 40 different bronze medallion winners,
or a silver Supreme Sire Production Plaque by siring
16 different silver medallion winners, or a gold Supreme
Sire Production Plaque by siring 8 different gold medallion
winners.
• A mare earning a bronze Supreme Dam Production Plaque
by producing 5 different bronze medallion winners, or
a silver Supreme Production Plaque by producing 4 different
silver medallion winners, or a gold Supreme Dam Production
Plaque by producing 3 different gold medallion winners.
• A gelding earning 14 bronze medallions, or 9 silver
medallions, or 2 gold medallions.
• Any horse earning a diamond medallion.
• Any ApHC-registered sire or dam of a horse earning
a diamond medallion.
The deadline to nominate a horse or person to the ApHC
Hall of Fame is October 31st. Nominations received after
this date will be considered for the following year.
