Chrome Buckle powered by PBRIP adds guaranteed payouts for Paints at Pink & Ruby Buckle Events
The American Paint Horse Association and Pink and Ruby Buckle have partnered to add the Chrome Buckle powered by PBRIP, a Paint Horse-exclusive incentive at the West Ruby Buckle, the East Ruby Buckle and the Pink Buckle events in 2023.
“Barrel racing and our own Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program are exploding, and the launch of the Chrome Buckle powered by PBRIP will continue to elevate Paint Horses in the barrel racing community,” APHA Ex- ecutive Director Billy Smith said. “We are thrilled to be able to give Paint Horses more opportunities to add to their ROI within these successful buckle events.”
Cold Hard Cash
Pink and Ruby Buckle have changed the game for barrel horses. The Chrome Buckle powered by PBRIP, offered in tandem with these events, helps cement the value that Paint Horse “chrome” brings to the bottom line for owners, breeders and exhibitors. In 2023, the Pink Buckle will have a $3,500 added Chrome Buckle in the open 4D, paid out in the average. Additionally, the East
and West Ruby Buckle events will host the Chrome Buckle powered by PBRIP in the open 4D in 2023 (80% payback) and be paid out in the average for each event.
“APHA has an amazing team who have been extremely innovative in the industry and show- casing Paint Horses,” Pink and Ruby Buckle co-owner Chad Beus said. “We are excited to provide a platform for Paint Horses to win more money within our events.”
