Current TxPFHA Regional Areas
The Texas Paso Fino Horse Association (TxPFHA) has initially establishing three Regional Areas in Texas, known as the North Texas, South Texas, and West Texas Areas. The territory for these Regional Areas is represented in the following Map:
These areas are aligned along the boundary lines of the Texas Equestrian Trail Riders Association's Local Regions, because we feel a strong association with TETRA, and we believe similar alignment will foster stronger working relationships with TETRA's Local Regions. We recommend that future Area Separations honor these boundaries, if possible. Following are the TETRA Local Regions in each of TxPFHA's Regional Areas:
TxPFHA feels the best way to encourage pleasure events, and pleasure activities, is to empower the local Paso owners to plan and hold these events themselves. In order to foster this initiative, we allow these local groups to form their own areas within TxPFHA. After all, Texas is a big state and events in the Dallas may not get many participants from Houston, etc. Therefore, we feel it is important to allow our state to be subdivided into as many regions as our membership deem appropriate. A new TxPFHA Regional Area may be formed by 15 members of TxPFHA in an existing Regional Area signing a petition for separation that indicates the territory the new area will cover, the officers in the new area, and the proposed budget for the new area. This petition for separation and the associated information should be presented to the TxPFHA Board at a regularly scheduled Board Meeting. The Board will then present this petition to the affected membership for a vote. For example, if your new area is in conflict with an existing area only this area's and your new area's members will be asked to vote. A simple majority is all that will be required to accept your petition for separation and to form your new TxPFHA Area. The TxPFHA is initially establishing three Regional Areas in Texas, known as the North, South, and West Areas.
