Hobby horses are back in town
HOBBY horses are coming back to Morayfield this week, with the Hobby Horse Holiday Classic taking place this Sunday, April 6, at the Morayfield Sports and Events Centre.
Starting at 9 am, the event promises to be an epic day of fun and competition. Riders are invited from all over Australia to compete in a variety of equestrian sports designed especially for Hobby Horses. Attendees will see riders competing in Show Jumping, Dressage, Western Events, Gymkhana Games, Barrel Racing and much more. Hobby Horse Market Stalls are also included in the event so everyone can enjoy some shopping.
This event also includes the Hobby Horse Challenge, aiming to bring together the world’s largest hobby horse herd so, if you’re a spectator and have a Hobby Horse you can bring along, you can come for free. Just purchase tickets for those in your group who can’t bring a Hobby Horse. (Please note, brooms, sticks or other non-horsey rides won’t be accepted).
There will be opportunities on the day for spectators to join in the Gymkhana Games and Obstacle Course. If you don’t have a Hobby Horse, you will be able to hire one for a deposit only.
