ROYAL SHOW CHECKS WILL SOON BE UNDERWAY – IF YOU ARE ENTERING ROYALS, OR ANY OTHER 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 exhibitor’s name (YOU, THE REGISTERED OWNER).
• 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.
• Ensure you allow adequate time prior to the close of entries to have your unregistered or not transferred/leased ponies’ paperwork completed.
•  Members requesting transactions to be processed at short notice will be charged the published Fast Track Fee, AND are not guaranteed that they will be completed if lodged just prior to a show.  Office staff always try their best to accommodate members lodging paperwork and requiring it quickly, however, some matters are beyond our control, particularly if your paperwork is incomplete or incorrect.  A $20 send back fee will be imposed for any paperwork that must be returned a second time to the member for corrections or omissions.
• Remember Ponies 4 years and over MUST be adult registered and cannot be shown on foal-recorded registrations. All colts 2 years and over as at 1st August must be entire.  In order to be eligible to be shown a Veterinary Certificate confirming the presence of two descended testicles must be lodged with the Society.

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

2026 RPSBS NSW ‘EXCLUSIVELY EQUINE’ JUBILEE STATE RIDING PONY SHOW

Attracted excellent entries from NSW and Interstate. NSW Committee and competitors extend sincere thanks to the very generous sponsors who supported our Jubilee State Show. Sponsors mean we can provide ribbons, sashes, rosettes garlands and very special prizes to exhibitors. THANK YOU EVERY SPONSOR!

The Committee also offers thanks to our four Judges – Mark Bullen, Paula Anthony, Lindy Walker and Brooke Stevenson – for donating expertise and time to judge this year’s NSW Jubilee State Show. All four Judges have judged, bred and/or exhibited Riding Ponies successfully.

“There is no show without Punch”, the saying goes. “Punch” for us means the experienced stewards and other workers who are the backbone of any show. Thank you so much to all who worked to make the show a success. Thanks also to Windsor Polo Club for allowing us to use your beautiful grounds at Richmond.

THANK YOU SO MUCH 2026 ROYAL CANBERRA SHOW FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT OF THE RPSBS 50^th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

All Riding Ponies exhibited at RPSBS NSW JUBILEE STATE SHOW qualified to compete in the Jubilee Championships at Canberra if they had submitted entries to do so.
