We are About Fun: Although we all love to compete and win, we are here to have fun.
Everyone Can Be Competitive: We have classes for beginners, intermediate and higher rated professionals.
New Members Welcome: Don’t know anyone and you have no partners to ride with? We can draw your partners. Never sorted before? We offer sorting lessons at every Saturday show. Familiarize yourself with the game; "Entries" to learn how to sign up; "Schedule" to mark all the shows on your calendar. At yearend, we have the Annual General Meeting. Please attend and find out more about ACTPSA and how you can get involved.
Kids can ride too: We offer 2 youth classes at every show. We value our children and our association proudly offers one scholarship per year. See the "Forms" page.
Family Friendly Events: You will find our members helpful and friendly. We all know what it is like to come to an event for the first time and not know anyone and afraid to make a mistake. Relax, the only way you will learn is if you get out and try.
