QLD Committee
HAVE YOU ENTERED THE NEWCOMER RIDDEN RIDING PONY SECTION AT TOOWOOMBA ROYAL SHOW?
Did you know to compete in the newcomer ridden riding pony classes at Toowoomba Royal Show, each exhibit requires a RPSBS newcomer card.
Each year the RPSBS QLD Committee hosts a show series for Newcomer saddle horses with a RPSBS registration, featuring Newcomer Ridden Riding Pony classes at shows across Queensland (including the Queensland Riding Pony Pageant and Toowoomba Royal Show) and culminating in a Sweepstakes Final at the Queensland Riding Pony of the Year show.
Eligible newcomers can nominate to participate in the Queensland Newcomer Ridden Riding Pony Series by returning an application form and entry fee ($44) to Jess Hannan, RPSBS QLD Ltd Newcomer Coordinator.
Exhibits must compete in the Newcomer Ridden Riding Pony classes at any show where Newcomer Ridden Riding Pony classes are offered, to qualify for entry to the series final at the 2025 Queensland Riding Pony of the Year show.
