ARE YOU ENTERING A SHOW?

Registrations & Memberships are being CHECKED by Breed & Show Societies, therefore, if you are competing in any show run under RPSBS Rules then you MUST ensure your pony is REGISTERED and entered in the correct exhibitors name (YOU, THE REGISTERED OWNER), then ensure you, the EXHIBITOR are a CURRENT Financial member.  If you are not handling or Riding the pony, then, make certain that your HANDLER or RIDER is at least a PARTICIPANT Member of the RPSBS.

Remember Ponies 4 years and over MUST be adult registered and cannot be shown on foal recorded registrations. All colts 2 years and over must be adult registered.

Check the studbook online to see the current status of your membership and your pony’s registration. 

1st Sept – QLD RIDING PONY OF THE YEAR SHOW
3rd Nov – SA RIDING PONY OF THE YEAR SHOW
10th Nov – QLD RIDING PONY PAGEANT
1st Dec – NSW STATE RIDING PONY SHOW
7th Dec – VIC RIDING PONY PAGEANT IN THE PARK

2024 RPSBS NSW Exclusively Equine Riding Pony Show will be held at Windsor Polo Grounds, Richmond 1st December.

That follows directly on from the EA National Show Horse & Rider Championships at SIEC 28th to 30th November. Not only are the grounds beautiful but also they are not far from SIEC.

In response to enquiries received from EA competitors who are showing their Riding Ponies at the EA National Championship NSW committee advises that, as usual, entries will be accepted from interstate Riding Pony members who comply with RPSBS membership and ownership requirements. A special new award will be presented to the highest Interstate (i.e. Non-NSW) Exhibitor.

The Committee also introduces six height classes for Ridden Veteran Ponies 10yrs and older on 1.8.2024. This is a great incentive to encourage members with older schoolmasters to show these wonderful representatives of the Riding Pony breed.

Best wishes to our breeders in this new season.
