The Paso Fino Horse Association (PFHA), established in 1972, operates as a membership organization in the United States, focusing on the promotion and governance of the Paso Fino horse breed. With a workforce of 11 to 50 employees, the PFHA engages in various activities related to horse competitions, including the evaluation and certification of stewards who oversee these events. One of the key documents published by the PFHA is the "Steward Apprentice Evaluation Form," which is utilized during licensed competitions to assess the performance and knowledge of apprentice stewards. This form includes criteria for evaluating understanding of the PFHA rules, competition procedures, and the ability to handle special situations that may arise during events. The PFHA aims to ensure that competitions are conducted fairly and that stewards are well-prepared to enforce regulations effectively. The association's headquarters is located in Frankfort, Kentucky, and it actively supports the development and recognition of the Paso Fino breed through its structured evaluation processes and competitions.
