The Piedmont PFHA (PPFHA) region held its first group meeting on December 21, 1976 and is now the third largest region of the Paso Fino Horse Association.  We proudly host one of the largest regional shows in the USA, Asheville Alive!  Many refer to it as the Mini-Nationals due to the high level of competition in all divisions.  During this show, money is awarded to qualified Piedmont Futurity horses.  This program recognizes some of the top breeding stallions in the country as well as awards money to the owners of their foals.

PPFHA also supports fun shows and clinics emphasizing education in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.  Trail rides are also an important and popular activity in our region. Throughout the year trail rides are scheduled in different areas providing fun filled days of horses and friends!  Our region is also the home of:

- Grand National Champions
- Top Ten Sires and Dams
- Gelding of the Year Honorees
- Respected Trainers
- Dedicated Amateur Riders
- Breeding Farms

​

PPFHA owes its success to all of its dedicated members and Paso Fino enthusiasts that support the region!  Show Exhibitors, Trail Riders, Youth Participants, Trainers, and Breeders are all equally important to the future of the breed and the region.
