ROYAL QUEENSLAND SHOW

The Ekka had been the primary show for decades, but Heavy Horse specific shows are now growing and numbers of horses appearing at these shows outnumber the horses exhibited at the Ekka.  However it is still a highlight for some.

JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS AND GELDING SHOW

Date claimer - We are very excited to announce our venue and date for the Junior Championships and Gelding Show 2025. We would love if members and visitors would join us for the scheduled Training Day on Saturday, 5 July at Boonah Showgrounds.

CCHSA Inc. QLD BRANCH GELDING SHOW

Originally held on its own as a separate show for two years in 2005 & 2006 then amalgamated with the Junior Championships from 2007 onwards.

In 2005 the Federal Executive determined to rotate the prestigious Max Fowler award for geldings around all the states and the Queensland branch was honoured to host this award for the first time outside its parent state. As we were having annual training days it was decided to expand the training days to include a gelding show and incorporate the Max Fowler award.

Our first gelding show was held in Caboolture in 2005 in conjunction with our training day and the Max Fowler award was won by Toby Barton with Eucalypt Park Chieftain. Due to the success of the gelding show it was determined to make this an annual event and in 2006 was once again held in Caboolture.

It was in 2006 that the Col Ehrich Memorial Trophy was established in memory of that well known Queensland Clydesdale breeder presented by Nicky and Graham Ehrich. As the interest of training days had also grown it was then determined to amalgamate the gelding show with the junior championships for 2007, so that the training days could be expanded and allow for a weekend programme over two days. The CCHSA (Qld Branch) then created the Junior Championships / Gelding Show.
