Equitana—Sydney

Bush Festival — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:43:25 +0000

The Festival team is once again off to Equitana, but this time it is being held at the Sydney/Homebush Showgrounds, Sydney.
We are excited about the opportunity to show what our event is all about to the Sydney set of horse enthusiasts as many may not have heard of the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival.
The program at Equitana is extremely diverse and offers lots of entertainment and engagement to all who attend. Many facets and breeds of the horse world are represented from trail riding, cutting, jumping right through to Grand Prix dressage, in demonstrations and displays over the 4 days.
The Exhibition Halls are packed over the entire event. It is a huge weekend for all of us and we come away each time thrilled with the attention our booth receives, and amazed at the interest we gain from the enormous crowds that attend the Equitana.
We believe that it encourages new visitors to our great Festival so they too can enjoy the beautiful Upper Murray.
If you are attending come by and enter our raffle or get some entry forms for 2012 and we can tell you first hand what’s in store in 2012.

Website Upgrade

Bush Festival — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 08:09:55 +0000

Our website is in the process of an upgrade.
Our e-newsletter ‘Banjo’s Blog’ will become a proper blog after the upgrade. So feel free to blog away when it comes on line. Love to hear from you! Over the past couple of years the use of the website by people from all over Australia and the world has grown by 25% + each year. As we all know if you want any information on anything now days you Google and/or search the web for news and information on what you are looking for. So it is our intention to keep as up to date with technology, particularly with our isolation from the big smoke, as we possibly can. We will be introducing twitter, YouTube and enlarging our facebook section.Lou our Challenge Scorer will keep everyone informed over the Festival weekend with tweets and we hope to upload images as they come to hand.
It is quite a big job to keep everything as up to date as we would like to, but we will be able to load the site ourselves post upgrades which will allow us to be more apt with updates on the entertainers and programming.
