Exhibitors qualify through placings at agricultural and breed shows, presenting horses for independent judging on conformation, movement, presentation and breed standard.
The schedule spans major Australian breeds and disciplines, from Stock Horses and Thoroughbreds to Ponies, Clydesdales and harness classes. A win at the Sydney Royal Horse Show is a prized achievement, enhancing reputation and the value of breeding lines throughout the industry.
