Nations Cup
Each nation is allowed to enter one team. A team may also be created by riders from different nations if they don’t have enough riders for their own team. The cup consists of five classes.

 

The Youth World Games
Postponed in 2020 and held virtually in 2021, the APHA Youth World Games is back live and in person with six teams and nearly 30 youth members competing for national pride and bragging rights. Teams from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Slovakia, the United States, and a United Team representing Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands will compete August 21-25 during the 2022 European Paint Horse Championship in Kreuth, Germany.
Offered biannually, APHA’s Youth World Games is the ultimate test of horsemanship skills in a fun, friendly, and international competition. Each country can enter one team with four exhibitors and an alternate. Exhibitors randomly draw a borrowed horse to show in one of four classes—showmanship, western horsemanship, hunt-seat equitation, and ranch riding—with only 30 minutes to practice. Awards are presented in each class as well as to top teams overall.
