Welcome

A string of horses
Mesa Verde Paint Horse Club is not only for owners of Paint horses. Our members have all different breeds of horses. We have everything from ponies to Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Arabians and a mixture of many different breeds.

We also support other organizations and the different disciplines of all horse activities. Many of our members belong to other clubs as well. In our newsletters you will find announcements for numerous activities in our local area, as well as events taking place in many other communities and in neighboring states.

Fun for Everyone Some happy kids having fun at the horse show

MVPHC encourages participation for competitors of all ages. The age groups we support are 10 and Under, 13 and Under, 14 - 18, 19 and Over, and Open Walk Trot. We have Novice Horse and Novice Rider, Open, English and Western classes to provide a well-rounded show experience for the particpants, their horses, and the folks in the stands who cheer them on.

We are a fun loving club with an emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play. Our club gives Day Awards and Year-End Awards. Riders can set goals for year-end achievements or simply have fun competing in numerous club events. As you can see in the photos, we are proud of our children and of our own accomplishments.
