The show will be held on Sunday 26 November 2023 at the beautiful Polo grounds at North Richmond.  Mark this date in your diary now.  The show has been held at this venue previously and it is delightful, shade trees a lovely grassed arena and an expansive canteen.

Our judges will be

• Ring 1 – Kate Dolan – Queensland
• Ring 2 – Anne Williams – Victoria
• Ring 3 – Kylee Cowgill – NSW.

We look forward to seeing lots of members from NSW and all the other states joining us for the show.

As usual, we will have great prizes and trophies for our winners and placegetters as well as random product prizes

We thank Rafferty Rugs and The Rug Rack for their ongoing support for our show and all the other wonderful sponsors who continue their relationship with us.  Anyone interested in joining our wonderful sponsors just contact any member of the committee and we will be very glad to discuss opportunities with you.

Entry for the show will be via SAMMS, so please ensure your membership is current and any ponies you wish to enter and correctly registered in the correct owner’s name.  If you are unsure of your details get onto the RPSBS website and search the Studbook or phone the office for further support.

The program is being revised and updated and will be available on the RPSBS NSW website and on Emma’s very shortly – look out for it.

The committee wishes members success with the upcoming Adelaide and Melbourne Royal shows and NSW Horse Of The Year shows, as well as Grand National qualifiers scheduled for later this year.

The committee also wishes everyone looking forward to foals shortly, a safe and successful breeding season.

The NSW weather has been very spring-like recently and while we do know we will most likely have a dry summer we are all enjoying some respite from the cold
