Stockman’s Challenge

Making its debut at the 2021 Show, the Stockman’s Challenge was an instant success.

Show Secretary Adele Saville said there has already been a fair bit of interest so this is one not to miss.

Riders compete in age groups and take their horses through a variety of challenges that test the skill of rider and horse.

Any breed of horse can compete and riders can use any type of saddle.

Horses are required at various stages of the course to walk, trot and canter and presentation of horse and rider is also a judging criteria.

The Stockman’s Challenge begins immediately after the Equine Sporting Events that start at 10.00 am and both competitions are a must see for horse lovers.

It may well have been a big rain year but for many fruit and vegetables the rain came at the wrong time of the year followed by a short but very dry period. This has impacted on the quality and quantity of many of the normal agricultural products.

The interest for visitors will be the chance to see what fruits and vegetables were able to adapt to the very different weather year. Nevertheless vegetables such as Capsicums, Cucumbers, Garlic, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Turnips and many more will be on display.

The fruit section will include Apples, Dragon Fruit, Lemons, Limes, Melons, Nectarines, Pears, Plums and many more.
