With 58 horses in the production it is Dave Manchon’s goal
to make people say “this is the best arena show I have ever
seen!”
The evening will also broadcast an interactive and inspiring
message about horsemanship, education, training programs
and teachings of self belief as spoken about by these stars
of the night.
The trainers will be riding some of Australia’s highest
money earning performance horses with a longest slide
competition, reined cow horse fence work complete with
water buffalo and watusi bull, novelty cutting, dressage
and bison buck competition to name a few of the surprises
of the night.
There will be opportunities for all fans to interact with their
favourite equine, human or animal star of the show and to
grab a photo with an Equine Futurity Champion. In addition,
watch out for lucky door prizes, merchandise give-aways
and the T shirt Gun promo shooter! Keep an eye out for the
two stepping Cowboy Dance Cam and Kiss Cam as it scans
the crowd to ensure an evening filled with belly laughs and
‘tell your friends’ moments.
The NOTH will be hosted by Network 7’s Sammie O’Brien.
Sammie has a new and excitable interest in horses with a
recent stint droving in Western Qld cementing her love for
the Australian outback and its animals, characters and way
of life.
The party will continue in the sand in the AELEC arena after
the show with music and dancing to follow. Dave Manchon
is putting his polish on this one of a kind event and is calling
all horse lovers to join him in Tamworth. It is the perfect show
for anyone who has ever wanted to put on a cowboy hat!
