Ride UK Recreational riding provides time to reflect on the day’s activities and plan for tomorrow. It allows you to relax your mind and body and escape from the hassles of day-to-day life. Riding can provide quality time with family and friends, or private time for yourself. It helps develop personal character and promotes physical fitness. Spending time in the saddle? If you enjoy riding or driving your Paint Horse for recreation, the UK PHA, Ride UK Program is for you. By enrolling in Ride UK, you can strengthen your body and mind while exploring the great outdoors with your favourite Paint Horse – and be earning rewards for the time you spend riding and driving. With Ride UK, you set your own goals and measure your own success. Ride at your own pace and earn rewards for simply doing what comes naturally—riding an American Paint Horse. Ride for personal achievement When you enrol in Ride UK, you receive an official time log and Ride UK patch. Simply record each hour you spend riding or driving your APHA Registered or Part-Bred Paint Horse and send your log to UK PHA. As you move up through the 14 achievement levels—from 100 to 10,000 hours—UK PHA records your accomplishments and you earn patches, shirts, blankets, and other fabulous awards. All you have to do is enjoy the ride and record your progress—we’ll reward your achievements. So get out there and saddle up! It’s time to Ride UK!
