2026 “PORTELLI RACING” RPSBS NSW STATE SHOW

2026 NNSW SHA HACK CHAMPIONSHIPS will include two Riding Pony feature rings at this SHC Grand National qualifier.  The RPSBS program provides a second NSW qualifier for the cash prizes in RPSBS Breed classes at 2027 ROYAL CANBERRA SHOW.

Date: Friday 18th to Sunday 20th September  Venue: Hawthorne Park, Grafton.

RPSBS NSW Committee is providing the sashes and ribbons for this show. We look forward to seeing lots of member competitors enjoying our show and qualifying for Royal Canberra’s RPSBS cash rewards at this show too.

2027 ROYAL CANBERRA SHOW has included Overheight Riding Ponies exc. 14.2hh in the 2027 RPSBS Breed program following the excellent support RPSBS Overheights received in 2026. RPSBS reminds members of the cash prizes for breed Champions and Reserves at Canberra accessed by attending one of the chosen shows run by all states.

RPSBS NSW Committee also congratulates many of its members who showed at recent NSW SHCA shows. We cannot promote you if you are not financial and if you do not communicate with our Publicity Officer!
