Don't forget to put as much information as you can into Showday Online. This will help our crew check you into stables and give you your show passes without any hold-ups.

We will be checking memberships and registrations again this year. Please have your paperwork up to date and easy to access for our Committee who will be located at the Stable Area from lunchtime Wednesday 10th June.

If you are competing in any thoroughbred and QOTT events, please make sure you know your horse/s microchip number and/or racing name.

There is no cash on the day. All payments need to be done through Showday Online for classes, stables and camping.

Stables are for livestock only. Please do not book stables for gear or feed. We have a limited number of stables and want to make sure everyone is catered for.

Prizemoney will be issued in Centre Ring at the time the ribbons are presented. This is a great and much needed improvement for our competitors!

We can't wait to see our ring full of supportive competitors and beautiful horses again!
