Did you know Adelaide Royal has extended its qualifying period?

IN support of the exhibitors wishing to compete at Adelaide Royal Show this year, consideration will be given to all performances made during the extended performance period of May 1, 2019, to May 16, 2022.


The RA&HS encourages all willing exhibitors (especially first-time novices) to enter for 2022. The Horse Committee will work to take all information into account in the fairest way that can when offering acceptance of entry.


Entries close on May 27.


To celebrate the champions, this year’s event will introduce a “best in show” award.


This award will be selected from the Champion Pony Hack, Champion Pony Hunter, Champion Galloway Hack, Champion Galloway Hunter, Champion Hack and Champion Hunter and sees the winner taking home a $1000 prize.


The new site layout will be showcased in 2022, which will be the first use of the newly fabricated stables and lockers and stable/locker bookings will again be done through Nominate, an on-line equestrian platform.
