2025 APHS South-West Schedule
We will have a number of classes for pure and partbred foreign breeds, open to all - no membership or qualification required to take part. Qualifiers included The Sunshine Tour, VHS, APHS Foreign Breed National Finals, APHS Youth Ridden Finals, APHS Veteran Finale and our Champion of Champions.

As at all our events, rosettes were awarded to 6th place and sashes to all class winners. We will also run a separate Part and Pure Championships for both in hand and ridden.  All our awards are hand made bespoke ribbons and sashes.


The South-West Show 2026 will hold the following QUALIFIERS
  • All (Foreign Breed) classes are qualifiers for the APHS Foreign Breed National Finals in September 2026 - top 3 in each Foreign Breed class qualifies.

  • This show is a VHS Gold Ticket qualifier for the 2026 VHS National Championships. We will be holding a veteran championship immediately after the ridden veteran class at this show and the Champion & Reserve will qualify.
