Noticeboard

Standardbred Pleasure and Performance Horse Association of New South Wales Inc.

This is where we put messages and current information that doesn't fit anywhere else, and where members can post messages to other members. This may be helpful information or requests for information, or a suggestion for a regional get-together, or bits and pieces for sale -- always subject to approval by the Executive Committee!

Let's kick off with a request for helpful information. We often get questions from new members about who is a useful trainer (meaning someone that can turn a Standardbred into a riding horse) in such and such an area: unfortunately, we can't answer as often as we like. If you, the members, have personal experience of a trainer that has done a good job or at least been helpful, please send a mail with details to sppha@standardbred.org.au (just click the link).
