ABOUT THE CLUB

In 1972 Charles Hall purchased an imported 2 year old Quarter Horse colt Nevada King Hank and was the earliest active promoter of the breed in Tasmania. Charles established the “Linden Quarter Horse Stud” at Minstone Road Scottsdale, and, as one of the founders of the Northern Branch Tasmanian Quarter Horse Association, was elected President at the inaugural meeting of the association on 25th May 1977. Other members of that era in the seventies were Geraldine Hall, Keith and Doreen Dodd, Brian Adams and Lyndon Moore.

Many members have come and gone or moved on to other interests or just retired from the industry. In 2001 Charles and Geraldine Hall were honoured with Life Memberships in appreciation of their many years of devoted service to the club and the Quarter Horse industry.

Sadly in 2004 we lost two of those foundation members in Charles Hall and Lyndon Moore. Both have left a legacy for family and friends to be proud of.

In 2004 members decided to delete the word “branch” from the club name.

The Association usually runs two approved shows per year at either Scottsdale (Santarena Park) or Harveydale and takes it's turn to host the State Championships.

Please check the Calendar for dates of meetings and events.
