About Us

The Show Horse Council of Western Australia was born out of the perceived need of the competitors for an organisation which was dedicated to the promotion and development of the sport of Show Horse incorporating hacking events with rider classes, turnout and leading rein.

The Show Horse Council of Western Australia (formerly known as the Hack Council of WA) was formed in November 1993 and is now an incorporated body boasting approximately four hundred members and many affiliated clubs.
