History:
Incorporated in 1949, AHPA
prides itself in being able to promote horse
pitching not only as a sport, but also as
a means of enjoyment for people of all ages.
AHPA is an offshoot of the Grand League
of American Horseshoe Pitchers Association,
the first ruling body of the sport that
was formed in 1914. After 18 years, while
the League has established a set of rules,
by-laws, and a constitution, and has granted
charters to clubs and state leagues, some
members thought it could still do more.
Thus, in 1949, Arlo Harris, then President
of the National Association, proposed several
measures to provide incentives, recognition,
and benefits to all pitchers - regardless
of level of play (e.g., professional, amateur,
etc.). The proposal, however, was disapproved,
prompting several members to put up AHPA
that aims to recognize all horse pitchers
in the US - reinstating the name and providing
a charter to promote leagues and tourneys
and adopting the count-all system of scoring.
