APHS-FBS

Foreign Breed Society

South-West Show

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 2027 will hold the following QUALIFIERS

• All (Foreign Breed) classes at this show are qualifiers for the APHS Foreign Breed National Finals 2027 - top 3 in each Foreign Breed class qualifies.
• All Veteran classes are qualifiers for the APHS Veteran Finale 2027 - top 3 qualify.
• This show will hopefully be a VHS Gold Ticket qualifier for the 2027 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. 
• All (Foreign Breed) classes will hopefully be qualifiers for the Sunshine Tour 2027 - winner qualifies.
