SOUTHERN TASMANIAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION Inc.

CLUB SHOWS 18TH SEPTEMBER, 9TH OCTOBER, 18TH DECEMBER

In 1978 the Southern Tasmanian Quarter Horse Association Inc. was formed by a small group of people with a common interest in becoming part of the growing phenomenon of the Australian Quarter Horse.

From these small beginnings the club has grown to be active in all aspects of horse ownership – from the training and encouragement of beginners to the polishing of some of Tasmania’s top Western riders.  As an Affiliate of the Australian Quarter Horse Association the club is able to access the expertise of many instructors and judges of vast experience to ensure continued improvement.

• FACILITIES

  The STQHA has permanent grounds leased from the Brighton Council at Pontville Park.  We have a safe enclosed arena that is used for shows and training and yards for security of horses. At present there are three small huts for canteen and administrative uses. 

• MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION - Membership of the club is open to every member of the public, and while ownership of a Quarter Horse is not a pre-requisite we hope, by demonstration of the fine qualities of this breed, to encourage non owners to consider the Quarter Horse when purchasing a new horse.  The membership year runs from August 1st to July 31st.

• CLUB SHOWS - These are aimed at encouraging people to have a go at western showing without needing all the equipment and clothing!
