What a day! An unexpected heatwave and a top of 38 degrees kept everyone looking for the shade, but the standard was high with beautiful line-ups in every section.

Thank you also to our naming rights sponsor, Alexia Fraser Bloodstock and all of the businesses and individuals who sponsored awards this year – your support is greatly appreciated and the show wouldn’t be possible without you.

RPSBS NSW State Committee is working enthusiastically to run a great Riding Pony Show that showcases the Riding Pony breed. We hope our programme attracts members who have a variety of interests in showing their treasured Riding Ponies.

We know we have Riding Pony enthusiasts who specialise in Show Ponies, Show Hunter Ponies and Overheight Riding Ponies.

We know we have members who especially enjoy competing in classes for Led Ponies, Ridden Ponies, Child’s Ponies and NSW Bred Ponies.

Why are we especially excited? We have some new classes and awards!

This year we are very pleased to introduce six classes for Veteran Ponies 10 years and over. These ponies are often School Masters and much loved Child’s, Beginner Adult’s and NDIS treasures.

We have also introduced a special award or two for Most Successful Interstate Competitors as we anticipate entries from interstate members.

An Early Bird Discount is offered on Nominate at the end of entering if you enter by midnight 11th October. Every little bit helps and we are conscious of “Bang for Your Buck” and hope this helps a little.

Best wishes to our “Showies” and RPSBS Breeders.
