Welcome to the 2022 Fountain of Youth ASHS Approved Sale

“Where Success Begins”
The ASHS National Show Committee and ASHS Board have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2022 ASHS National Show that was due to commence Thursday 10 March 2022. Due to the unprecedented weather event on the East Coast of Australia and the impact that has had on Members, Judges and Volunteers attending and resulting in a high volume of scratching’s, both the National Show Committee and the Board felt under the circumstances it would impact our ability to run a successful show. In support of our membership and taking the financial impact on the Society into consideration there was no other alternative but to postpone the show. – The Australian Stock Horse Society.
