We are a group of dedicated horse lovers whose aims are to promote, foster and encourage the development of the Australian Quarter Horse in the state of Western Australia. We are affiliated with the Australian Quarter Horse Association and with their assistance we aim to develop public interest in this wonderful breed of horse Australia wide. We also aim to promote our youth and amateurs.
We conduct shows, competitions and exhibitions of Quarter Horses and Appendix Quarter Horses at regular intervals during the year. The AQHA co-ordinates competitions all over Australia culminating with the huge National Championships held in Sydney each year. The shows involve many disciplines, such as Halter, Showmanship, Western Pleasure, Trail, Reining, Cutting, Team Penning and English events such as Hunter Under Saddle.
The AQHA also maintains a studbook, which keeps a record of all registered Quarter Horses. Pedigrees are available from the AQHA for a modest fee.
The Australian Quarter Horse is a very versatile horse. Apart from events organised by the WAQHA, Agricultural Societies and other breed societies, there are also other areas where they excel, such as hacking, eventing, barrel racing, campdrafting and polo-crosse.
On the following pages you will find information on where, when and how to go about showing and getting the most out of your wonderful Australian Quarter Horse.
