We will be holding the finals at our NEW Foreign Breed National Finals Show in October 2024 (date and venue TBC). There will be a range of classes open for qualified horses (membership required by exhibitors), plus a range of open classes for non-qualified/non-members. A sliding entry fee scheme will be in operation, with discounts on entries for members.
The 2024 schedule can be viewed by clicking on the Blue Box at the top of this column.
Overnight stabling, hook ups, camping & prebooked evening meal for the Saturday night should be made directly with Pickering Grange
We have a NEW Foreign Breed Veteran Championship - open to any foreign breed that has placed 1st or 2nd in any of our APHS Veteran classes during 2024.
This show is a VHS Gold Ticket Qualifier - Veteran Champion & Reserve will qualify for the 2025 VHS National Championships.
If you would like YOUR event to be a qualifier for our National Championships, then please contact us
HERE or use the form below.
Shows holding Foreign Breed classes (non-indigenous to GB, Northern Ireland & Eire) are welcome to apply.
These classes need to be judged under Foreign Breed Show Rules - if your class is being run under "English" rules (individual show required), then any suitably qualified Panel judge can officiate. If they are being judged under "American" rules, then a judge from the Foreign Breed Judges list, or one holding an American "R" / "r" card must be appointed to officiate.
For more information and/or details please get in touch.
To enter one of our National Finals you must have qualified and received a qualification card.
We are using a NEW system for 2024!
The top 3 in any qualifying class will receive a qualfying card. Cards CANNOT be passed down the line.
The reverse of the cards must be completed and returned to APHS (36 Philpot Square, Peterborough Road, London, SW6 3HX) and exhibitors must become APHS-FBS members in order to take part in any of the "Foreign Breed Finals" or "Supreme Championships" at the Foreign Breed National Finals Show. (There are many classes at the show for non-qualified/non-members too - so all are welcome to join us in this end of year celebration of Foreign Breeds).
If you are a show secretary who hold foreign breed classes and you would like them to be qualifiers for our Foreign Breed National Finals, please get in touch with us. To help with costs, we ask that Show Secretaries enclose an A5 SAE with their application form for return of our qualifying cards.
View our "other events" page to see a list of current qualifying shows.
WILD CARD option to qualify too.
This is an option for Judges to present in ANY class (does not have to be a Foreign Breeds class) to any pure or partbred Foreign Breed that they feel is a good representative of (that) breed. These can be in any open type competition, where ever the judge is officiating at.
If you are a judge who regularly comes across foreign breeds and would like some Wild Cards for 2024, please get in touch with us.
For 2024 we will be offering qualifying cards to the top 3 in all affiliated classes. ONE CARD PER HORSE FOR THE SHOW is required - once qualified you can enter as many classes as you like at the FB National Finals.
