ARBC Event owners and coordinators , Errol and Gita Thomas said “ The ARBC show has grown each year since it began and that can only be attributed to the amazing support of new and existing sponsors wanting to be a part of this event along with support from so many competitors across all disciplines .” The atmosphere at the ARBC is unique as we have 5 disciplines sharing knowledge , cross entering events and supporting each other through the entire week of this prestigious event . It is a favourite on everyone ’ s calendar for good reason .
Putting together a show of this size requires a solid team working towards a common goal to not only showcase these exciting disciplines yet also to feature a great region , the Western Downs . Show organisers work alongside the Western Downs Regional Council in this pursuit and thank WDRC for its support in assisting this show to also be a featured to residence of the region . The week of showing attracts over 2300 people to the region as well as being a highlight to the residents themselves , such an exciting event in their hometown . Finals of the Australia ’ s Greatest Horseman Event saw a packed stadium and many thousands watching across the world via the livestreaming of the show .
Livestreaming of the show attracted viewers from over 15 countries and the inclusion of the AGH Two Handed Cutting Phase going live was well received .
