Calendar of Events

DQHA holds regular Shows, "Come and Try" days, Club days and Clinics throughout the year. There is also an annual Camp held in the July School holidays.

The Shows are approved through the Australian Quarter Horse Association AQHA and Paint Horse Association of Australia PHAA and are judged by the best qualified judges available, so that competitors are assured that the standard of competition is maintained at a high level. We have recently included English and Ranch Versatility events.

Nominations for all events is managed online through Global Entries.
