Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular is seeking QOTT Event Sponsorship to help incentivise ownership of Off-the-Track (OTT) horses by providing the 2026 Clydesdale Spectacular with sponsorship monies to be distributed as prize money to competitors of the OTT horse classes at the Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular festival. We are seeking EOIs “expressions of interest” from Off-the-Track (OTT) horse owners that would be interested in competing at the 2026 Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular event, to be held on Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th June 2026 at the Beaudesert Showgrounds. We will host Led, Ridden and Harness Classes for OTT horses to compete in at the 2026 event, and to help with a successful application for the QOTT Event Sponsorship, as we haven’t held OTT classes previously, we require indication of support and interest from the owners and/or riders of OTT horses attending.

If you are interested in entering your OTT horses at the 2026 Clydesdale Spectacular please include below in the comments of this post “Yes”, together with your OTT horse’s official racing name, and whether the horse is a TB (Thoroughbred) or STB (Standardbred).

We would really appreciate your support!

Warm regards,
The Clydie Crew

Yesterday the Clydesdale Spectacular family lost our beautiful Valerie after a brief but brave battle with a rare & aggressive cancer. She leaves an unfillable hole in our lives. However, we know that wherever she is, she’s being excitedly greeted by all the dogs she’s loved so fiercely.

Memorial details to follow.

BOOK RELEASE DATE! — OCTOBER 17!

Every now and then you meet someone that has a remarkable life story, one that you know needs to be shared. The Life of ROY ALAN FLEETWOOD is one of them. Beginning his life with the world immersed in war, this book follows his journey—84 years so far—through many different backdrops and surrounds. Honest, courageous, adventure packed and peppered with humour, his life's narrative is quite a tale.

BACK COVER BLURB

'All a man really owns is his story and what a story Roy Fleetwood has to tell. Leaving the United Kingdom at the age of eighteen, Roy carried with him nothing but an adventurous spirit, a natural ability with horses, and a dogged determination to succeed.
This is the story of a man who has always lived life to the full. It is also a tribute to a way of life that has virtually disappeared. A world only available to us today through memories shared. From the windswept hills of the Isle of Man, to the crowded industrial city of Birmingham, then finally to the mountain ranges and vast plains of Australia, this is Roy's ride of a lifetime.'
