This year's Spray Farm CIC *** International Horse Trials were run as part of Equitana Asia Pacific. Definitive Events who stage Equitana here in Australia, really got behind this - the last competition of a fabulous two weeks for all horse lovers. Equitana is a huge undertaking and Daryl Herbert, the Chief Executive of Definitive Events and his team, are to be congratulated on a great effort. Spray Farm was bigger and better this year for the involvement and publicity that Equitana gave. I know quite a few people who bought a gold pass to Equitana and came down to Spray Farm as an extension to their interest in Equitana. It is a great innovation to conduct this competition along side a wine and food festival - it must make it a truly family outing when everyone can enjoy something, I can sympathise with 'horse nuts' who have other less than interested members of their family to consider - for some a whole weekend watching horses is not bliss (can you imagine this?) - Spray Farm is the ideal compromise. On the next couple of pages I have featured some of the personalities of the event. |
