Hall of Fame


In 2003 the NYPEA Hall of Fame was established to honor members that have demonstrated exceptional contributions to the Association, and/or the use, or breeding of the Palomino Horse. Inductees into the NYPEA Hall of fame are representative of the Palomino Horse breed and/or the Association in the State of New York and beyond, clearly serving to strengthen the Association and/or the Palomino Horse breed.

To nominate someone you think deserves to be inducted into the NYPEA Hall of Fame. please send a nomination letter to the current NYPEA President.
