THE a.f.h.s

(AUSTRALIAN FRIESIAN HORSE SOCIETY INC.)

The AFHS is the Australian affiliate of the FPS. To register your Friesian horse with the FPS you must first become a member of the AFHS. When you buy a Friesian horse from an Australian or New Zealand breeder the registration papers should be transferred into your name by the seller then sent to you so you can include the transfer fee and send the papers into the AFHS. You will then receive new papers, in your name, from the FPS via the AFHS Registrar. You should keep in mind that transfer of FPS registration is handled by the FPS and can take some months to compete. All communications with the FPS MUST be through the AFHS.

The sole purpose the AFHS exists, according to it's Constitution is:

1. To maintain the racial purity of the Friesian Horse in Australia and New Zealand

2. To promote and encourage the breeding and exhibition of Friesian Horses in Australia and New Zealand

It is in the interests of ALL purebred Friesian  owners in Australia and New Zealand to become active members of the AFHS and to support the AFHS in it's endeavours. It is also your right as a member of the AFHS to expect full support from the AFHS with regard to breeding and showing and gaining class inclusions at shows. The effectiveness of the AFHS in promoting the breeding and exhibition of Friesian Horses in Australia and New Zealand is directly influenced by the support and participation of it's members, so if you as a member are not happy with the level of support from the AFHS or the direction it is taking it is up to you to take a more active role and become involved and voice your concerns. Don't expect your concerns to be addressed if you are not prepared to voice them. Active participation by ALL members is the key to a strong society and the AFHS is no different to all other societies so please take an active role in YOUR Society.
