This collection is composed of local and national records of the South Dakota Paint Horse Club, a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Paint Horse Association. The records document the club’s mission to promote the paint horse breed through administrative oversight, public outreach, and event coordination.

Materials include foundational documents such as by-laws, certification of incorporation, directories, contracts, and meeting minutes, as well as extensive correspondence, financial statements, and memoranda. The collection also features Hoofprints, the club’s official newsletter, which contains updates on officers, show schedules, membership, and organizational developments.

Additional records pertain to programs, futurity events, horse shows, stallion auctions, and national and regional events, including participation in the South Dakota State Fair and the Rapid City Convention. Newspaper articles, awards, rule books, and documentation related to club governance and judging are also present. Audiovisual content includes taped meetings.

These materials illustrate the club’s significant role in promoting the paint horse breed both within South Dakota and nationally from its founding in 1970 through its closure in 2021.
