The Cal-Western Appaloosa Show Horse Association is a non profit organization who has been awarding California state championship titles and maintaining a permanent point registry for Appaloosa enthusiasts since 1964.

The association, based in San Bernardino, California is regarded as a cover club for the many Appaloosa regional clubs and associations throughout California. These area clubs apply to Cal-Western along with the Appaloosa National Club for show approvals for their various shows & events held during the point year throughout California and several neighboring states.

As part of the prestige of owning and showing Appaloosas, Cal-Western has over the years, established a tradition of honoring outstanding individuals and Appaloosa horses, who have made significant contributions to Appaloosa history here in California.

The Cal-Western, Hall of Fame, has become a veritable who's who in the history of California Appaloosas. This elite group of Hall of Fame inductees was begun in 1977 with the induction of Mr. Don Masterson. To date Cal-Western has inducted a total of 9 outstanding Appaloosa owners, trainers, breeders and exhibitors who have achieved immortality in the annuals of Cal-Western Appaloosa history.

An equal number of outstanding Appaloosas have made their way into the realm of legend by their induction to the Hall of Fame. Not surprisingly, most of these inductees have also been honored by being named to the Appaloosa Horse Club's, Hall of Fame, the Appaloosa breeds National/International registry, located in Moscow, Idaho.
