Hunter Branch of the Australian Stock Horse Society is the local representative of a National organisation. We are one of the oldest branches and among the largest in Australia. Hunter Branch covers an area bounded by Hebden to the south, Glenrock to the east, Quirindi to the north and Merriwa to the west. If you are interested in Australian Stock Horses why don't you come along and join our activities.
We have a proud tradition of running a successful Show each year and have a youth focus with many youth classes in our Show and a Youth training camp in October school holidays each year.
Our show will be run on the new dates first weekend in February and new location Merriwa Showgrounds new 2-day programme - see the Show page for details. Our sponsors are essential to us and we would like to thank them - they are listed on our Sponsors page.
Throughout the year we try to run other activities suggested by our active Members. If you would like a say, come along to our Meetings. Activities are open to non-Members who agree to take out Temporary Membership.
We aim to be involved in as many aspects of the local Stock Horse community as possible with our organisers being involved in breaking-in and training, campdrafting, dressage, team penning, polo, polocrosse, showing, stockman's challenges, stock work and pleasure riding.
