The APSB was founded in 1931 and was the first society for the registration of ponies established in Australia.
Today, there are ten pure bred pony breeds plus four pony registers under the APSB umbrella.
No other society can offer so many different pony breeds under the one registration.

The extent of activities suitable for any of the APSB pony breeds is as endless as your imagination.
Each breed has proven itself in many fields of equine sports, from the absolute elite of the show world
to the fundamental use of a pony as a reliable mount and friend for a child.
The APSB Federal Council is pleased to advise that the cessation of all meetings and events is lifted.
We thank everyone for their patience during this time and look forward to our members being able to enjoy events again.
All State branches must develop a COVID-Safe plan and a copy be provided to Federal Council before any activities can commence.

Yours sincerely,
Jeff Perry
