Attn Appaloosa Folks:
Ken Goodison, long time member of the ApHC, and Arizona Appaloosa Assn, passed away yesterday (Friday) after a valiant battle with cancer. In lieu of flowers, the family is in need of donations to help cover the huge medical expenses they have incurred. Please contact me for more info, I’ll be happy to provide you with Donna’s address.
Husband to Donna Goodison, Ken was a familiar face at our shows. He was our Gate Man Extraodinaire and will be sorely missed by all of us. Please keep Donna in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) is pleased to announce its collaboration with Star H Equine Insurance to create the ApHC Regional Club Liability Insurance Program.
This new liability insurance program for ApHC Regional Clubs provides spectator liability coverage for all a regional club’s equine events on an annual basis, with limits of $1 million per Claim with $2 million Aggregate. The Aggregate limit means that a regional club could have two $1 million Claims made against it in any one policy year and still be covered.
The coverage protects your regional club, its officers, board members, directors and volunteers in the event that an individual club member or volunteer should be individually named in a claim or lawsuit. Other individuals or entities, such as the facility owner and the ApHC, can be added as Additional Insured at no additional premium charge. In the event of a lawsuit, the policy pays all legal costs in addition to the $1 million limit per claim.
The annual minimum premium for this coverage is $400, which covers up to five (5) equine event days. Activities such as board and membership meetings, annual banquets and trade booths will be covered at no additional costs. For regional clubs located in Florida, the minimum premium is $500, but will give you up to seven (7) equine event days.
Star H Equine Insurance was started by Butch and Lucinda (McIver) Human and is an insurance agency devoted solely to serving the insurance needs of the equine industry. Star H Equine Insurance has two offices to serve you: North Carolina office, P.O. Box 2250, Advance, NC 27006 (336) 940-5455, toll-free at (877) 827-4480, by fax 336-940-5475 or e-mail info@starhinsurance.com or Texas office at P.O.

It is with my most sincere regret to inform the Appaloosa Horse Club of the passing of Cim-Bad. He was the World’s Best Appalossa in 1985, carried 5 riders to National and World Championship, and capped off his career by winning the 12 and under Youth Western Pleasure at age 23 with his final owner Cara Sparks. The Equine Chronicle has him on the front page of their digital magazine right now with a full-story. I am hoping that the Appaloosa Horse Club will honor one of their own with the same recongnition. It is the passing of a true champion and legend.
Thank you, Donna Miller

The Appaloosa Horse Club is pleased to announce that we’ve entered into an agreement with the Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada to allow ApHC-registered horses the opportunity to show at the Canadian National Appaloosa Show and earn ApHC points. The Canadian National Appaloosa Show will be held July 27-31 at the Westoba Credit Union ACE Arena in Brandon, Manitoba Canada. Judges for the show include Susan Robinson, James Simpson and R.J. Muir.
In most cases and where rules are consistent between the two organizations, ApHC-pointed classes will run concurrently with ApHCC classes. ApHC national points earned will be based on the number of horses in the class that are eligible to show at ApHC-approved shows. All horses registered with the ApHC will be eligible to participate in the show.
For a complete list of ApHC-approved classes, please visit the ApHC Web site at www.appaloosa.com and visit our show calendar section. Or you can visit the Appaloosa Horse Club Canada’s Web site at www.appaloosa.ca for complete entry information and forms. Please contact Show Manager Don McClure with specific questions. He can be reached at BOX 2 GRP 201 RR 2 WINNIPEG MB R3C 2E6 CANADA, by email at cmcclure@mts.net or by phone at (204)633-2133.
