a LONG OVERDUE news update.
The way in which the industry has emraced the WHR has been overwhelming.
There was obviously a need for the services it is offering.
To date there have been 162 membership cards sent out (@ 18/08/2011), although, there are 283 actual members, as many are families and partnerships. There are complete clubs in some areas, who have chosen to join.
Next years show events are definately going to be a stand out, especially with the introduction of a few new ridden events.
Not 'new' as in 'we made them up'... new as in, American events not yet being included as a competitive show event by any association in the Australian Western Horse Industry.
Breeding season is definately here, we hope everyone gets exactally what they were hoping for when they bred their mares.
Remember - when chosing a stallion for your mare, look locally before going nationally. Breed to type and for yourself, don't lose sight of why decided to breed her in the first place.
There will be a new post out for members earliy next week so keep an eye out for that.
Enjoy your horses everyone ..:)

BUCKLE SERIES SHOW IN JULY 2011
The first show with WHR classes will be held at an event Ayre, FN QLD, on July 23rd, 2011.
This will be a BUCKLE SERIES SHOW, with a WHR BUCKLE AWARDED to the Hi Point horse of the show.
Other Great Prizes will be awarded in each WHR event
on the day.
100 members and counting..
That has completely obliterated our prediction of 100 members in the first year!!
5 months and we have reach our first year target.
With the 100th member we welcome our first New Zealand members.
PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF THE BREED/S
After much deliberation the WHR have decided NOT to register HYPP or HERDA, pos or carrier horses.
MISS INDIA AND BGW IN THE SPOTLIGHT BECOME THE VERY FIRST STATE SHOW TITLE HOLDERS FOR THE WHR.
Miss India Woods and her mare BGW In The Spotlight have accrued the very first State Champion Title and the very first Youth points for the Western Horse Registry. Congratulations to India and Abbey!!
