2025 Virtual Show
Entries open October 30th, 2025, and close December 14th, 2025.
Please join the Australian Stock Horse Society USA Branch for its 2nd annual virtual show. Led, hack, and working patterns will be offered. Jenny Petrich and Judi Powell, who are ASHS-accredited judges, will be the judges for the 2025 Virtual Show. Participants will be judged based on the ASHS’s ideal standard of an Australian Stock Horse. Rider/handler must be an ASHS member. Horses in the ASH classes must be registered or in the process of registration, as well as be competition eligible. Horses in the Youth and Open classes do not need to be registered and can also be a different breed. Rider/handler can show as many horses as possible in any class. A horse can only be shown by one rider/handler in its respective age group. If you have questions about eligibility, send an email.
