award at the ARBC Show to recognise our Cattle Event Lady Competitors and so the WildSpark Lady Rider Award was born .
This year our cattle event judges selected this special lady Hayley Ahern from a large selection of ladies competing in these events . Hayley is a mum , wife and hard working lady that finds the time to not only rider her horses , yet compete on them as well .
Hayley met Edwina earlier in the week and after a few chats at the ARBC Saloon it was clear in Edwina ’ s mind that Hayley was the lady to be recognised with this award .
Hayley congratulations on this recognition , such a deserved winner of this the “ Wild Spark Lady Rider ”. Hayley received a stunning WildSpark Lady Rider Buckle complete with Rose Quarts stones , a pink edged wool rug , a Pink Yetti for her chilled Passion Pop and a beautiful bunch of flowers .
This year we celebrated our Champions handing out 8 big cheques to the deserved champions of the ARBC for 2020 .
