		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, November 15, an original painting of Wimpy P-1 sold at the 2009 American Quarter Horse Association World Championship Show Sale for $120,000. The legendary painting by the late American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame member Orren Mixer was purchased by Hendrik and Lettie Smeding of Pope Valley, California, via telephone bid. The painting was commissioned by Rex Cauble, the last recorded owner of Wimpy P-1, the first horse registered with the American Quarter Horse Association at its founding. It was consigned by Reynolds and Lisa Moreland of Mays Lick, Kentucky, who purchased the painting from Cauble prior to his death in 2003. “We had inquiries about the painting,” Reynolds said about his decision to sell the painting, the original of an iconic image of Wimpy P-1 used publicly for decades. “I had people approach me to give it away. “I approached Mike Jennings (of Professional Auction Services Inc.) last year and asked him, “&#8217;Have you ever thought about auctioning artwork?’” he continued. “After Mr. Mixer passed away, I had people show an interest. I told Mike what my idea was, he said this might be something we could do. “(Selling the painting at the World Show Sale) in [...]]]></description>

Or is your innovative use of color and technique one breath away from leaping off the canvas? Then you may be a perfect fit for APHA’s next official World Championship Paint Horse Show Series artist. The Series consists of two premier horse shows held in Fort Worth, Texas. The Summer World Championship Show is set for June 23–July 3, 2010, and the Fall World Championship Show will be held November 4–13.
