The South Australian, Australian Stock Horse 2006 State Futurity & Maturity Show was held on February 4^th & 5^th  at the Adelaide Polocrosse Grounds, Lobethal in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.  This was a new location for this event and the Polocrosse grounds are in a perfect setting and area for ASH Members travelling from interstate and locally to compete.

Well known interstate Judges, Joy Poole from NSW and Glen Gough from QLD officiated and were pleased to see the presentation and quality of stock on display. Albeit a few late scratchings reduced some of the numbers in the young stock, competitor numbers were on a par with previous State Shows.  The enthusiasm of the competitors taking part was evident in the care and pride with which they turned out their horses.  Many had been preparing and practicing their workouts for weeks prior to the show in an effort to win some of the cash an prizes up for grabs on the day!

We were off to an early start on the Sunday for the Branch show  with the ASH led and ASH hack classes, after lunch saw us start the much awaited working classes which went extremely well. With the preliminary working classes were over it was time for the winners of these classes to compete for the Champion and Reserve Champion Working ASH  proudly sponsored by HYGAIN. After wonderful fast passed work outs we saw the HYGAIN award finally going to Clonmel Tango ridden by John Hentschke and Reserve going to Rivoli Reaction ridden by Felicity Green.
