STRONG PERFORMANCES ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS In the Ladies division, the title was claimed by Emma Webb, who delivered a commanding performance aboard Western Acres, a striking five-year-old Australian Quarter Horse stallion.
Their runs in each preliminary event and the finals event blended power, precision, and finesse- a credit to both horse and rider and further evidence of the Quarter Horse’ s versatility in the Stockmen’ s Challenge format.
HONOURING TRADITION, INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION The Stockmen’ s Challenge continues to honour the legacy of mountain stockmen while fostering a new generation of riders who are passionate about working horses, stock handling, and bush life. The ongoing support from AQHA in promoting and sponsoring these youth sections has been instrumental in nurturing future champions.
As we look ahead, the strength, spirit, and sportsmanship of these young competitors ensure that the traditions celebrated at the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival will continue to thrive for generations to come.
