2022 NATIONAL FINALS, Thu 7th Jul, 2022
ITS NATIONAL FINALS TIME - LETS CELEBRATE!!!
We all have endured a heck of a lot over the past 3 years with Covid-19, bushfires, devastating floods and natural disaster zones. The ABHA have not been able to run a Finals since 2019. It has been extremely difficult for affiliates and members to host/compete at events through these trying times… Therefore the ‘qualifying criteria’ has been lifted for 2022! As long as you are a Financial ABHA Member you will be eligible to enter the 2022 ABHA National Finals!
More information will be rolling out in the coming weeks of our entry system, AELEC camping and stabling. We will also provide a ‘TENTATIVE’ program soon but as you can appreciate this may change once final entry numbers are confirmed. We hope not too much though.
The ABHA are trying to bring as much information to you as soon as it comes to hand, however you are always welcome to email: secretary@abha.com.au should you have any queries.
Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for your support! Keep a look out for sponsor promotions coming soon and check out these amazing, generous businesses.
Thank you Cowgirl Creative - T Palmer for this great shot of Danielle Foster and ‘Drift’ at our recent ABHA Liverpool Plains event and Cowboy Communications for our fantastic poster!
So, come and join us in crowning the 2022 ABHA Barrel Racing Champions and celebrate that we are back in the AELEC arena, together!
We cannot wait to see y’all in Tamworth!

*** Safety Tips for Horse Riders ***, Thu 17th Jun, 2021
Whilst we try and deny it, horse riding, driving or caring for our horses are dangerous activities. Many of us have been injured or seen friends and family we love injured.
With forethought before going to the paddock or arena, many accidents could be avoided or their consequence reduced. Here are some quick and easy tips to think about before you go on your next ride.
- Equipment - Make sure you have the appropriate equipment for the activity. Ensure it is maintained and fitted to the horse correctly.
- Your horse - Like us, horses can be uncomfortable or unaccustomed in different situations. Make sure your horse is rained and prepared for the activity you are undertaking. If you are unsure, get in touch with a local trainer or coach to help you achieve your riding goals.
- Be aware of surroundings - Keep an eye out for things going on around you. Including, horses, other animals especially dogs, cars, people, tree brenches and other dangerous surroundings.
- Don't Ride Alone - Ride with a friend, so you can look after each other if something goes wrong. If you are riding alone. carry your phone and use an app like Horse Rider SOS. If you fall off and stop moving the app will send a notification with your location to your designated emergency contact.
*** AFFILIATES ***, Wed 16th Jun, 2021
Affiliates please note
The board is working on improving the functionality of the website, planning of events and online entry system. Please bare with us through these changes.
A Quick Reminder...

ABHA Presidents Report September 2020, Sat 5th Sep, 2020
Dear ABHA Members,
The ABHA board of directors continues to address the never-ending challenges that 2020 has dealt the association. From drought, bushfires and then the COVID-19 world crisis it certainly has been a year like no other.
I encourage everyone to do their part to keep themselves, family, and community safe and follow all the COVID-19 restrictions as this is shaping up to be a marathon, not a sprint. If everyone plays their part, we hopefully will still be able to run events under COVID-19 restrictions. While this is uncharted territory for all of us, please show respect and patience to all involved as the board and affiliates try to navigate through these new challenges.
Thank you to all the members, affiliates, breeders, sire owners, sponsors and volunteers for your continued support now and in the past. Our Association is blessed to have such hard working and dedicated members and volunteers who selflessly give their time and effort to keep events running and give everyone a place to complete in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The finals are again scheduled for September 2021 (COVID-19 pending) and hopefully it will be our best event ever as the ABHA will be celebrating its 25th year. We will announce all the details in the coming months. We were planning to award our first life membership to Adele Edwards in Tamworth this year, but will now be doing it as part of next year’s National event, where Adele can be recognized and celebrate this prestige’s award at our most high profiled event.
In June our long serving and much admired ABHA secretary Jayne Lilley resigned. We thank Jayne for all her years of service. She will be greatly missed and we wish her all the best in her new endeavors. The office is now being ran on a voluntary basis. The secretary position will be filled with a new secretary when we have enough events back running to warrant a full-time secretary.
We are excited to be having the state championship events. Preparations are under way in all states with the first event to be in the Northern Territory. The continuing COVID-19 pandemic will see some alteration necessary as restrictions escalate and continue in some states but if any events cannot be run, they will be rescheduled. This is a wonderful opportunity for members to compete at a high-profile event after the cancelation of our national event.
Thank you to the 16 Affiliates that have completed the new COVID-19 compliant paperwork.
Membership numbers for 2020 are particularly good with, 704 senior members, 570 junior members, 15 non-competing members and 2 honoree members.
We will not be holding the 2020 AGM this year due to all the COVID-19 restrictions it will now be held over and ran with the 2021 AGM as per the NSW Government Fair Trading announcement.
Lou Kimber, Katie Vaughan and Bridgette Hasting resigned from their Board position’s earlier this year. I would like to thank these ladies for their time and contribution to the association. In April, the ABHA appointed Matt Burns in a casual vacancy position to replace one of these vacant positions and I would like to welcome Matt to the Board.
As the AGM has now been postponed the Board terms will all now be extended to three-year terms as per below.
