Abstract

The South Dakota Paint Horse Club is a non-profit regional club affiliated with the American Paint Horse Association. South Dakota Paint Horse Club was formed in 1970 in Rapid City, South Dakota to show paint horses, an American horse breed classified by color patterns which resemble white splotches with a mix of commonly dark colors. Throughout the span of South Dakota Paint Horse Club, many shows, auctions, meetings, newsletters, and tapes were produced. In 2021, the South Dakota Paint Horse Club was disbursed. Folders include mostly newsletters, newspaper articles, laws, memorandums, correspondence, and directories.

In the spring of 1970, I.J. Carey and others founded the South Dakota Paint Horse Club, a direct affiliate of the American Paint Horse Association. I.J. Carey became President of the South Dakota Paint Horse Club for three years, before becoming National Director and Secretary Treasurer, respectively.

South Dakota Paint Horse Club acts as a non-profit organization to promote the special breed of paint horses, an American horse breed mixed with white splotches and common dark colors.  South Dakota Paint Horse Club’s foundation revolves around the promotions of the paint horse, and are provided through vast production of newspapers, television ads, and magazines.
