1. Monty Roberts to appear at EQUITANA Brisbane
Definitive
Events is excited to announce that renowned horse trainer, Monty
Roberts, will be a special guest at EQUITANA Brisbane in November.
Monty is
a well-known figure in the equine world, having written 3 best-selling
books
and educating hundreds of thousands of people about his popular
training
techniques. Queen Elizabeth was so impressed that in 1989 she commissioned
him to come to Windsor Castle and train 16 cavalry horses. Since
then, Monty
has continued to win widespread fame and popularity towards his
teachings,
especially his deep-rooted philosophy of creating a "better
world for horses
and humans".
Monty
Roberts will be conducting an exclusive clinic at EQUITANA Brisbane
and will be appearing as part of the Education Program. To find

2. CDI - W Dressage Competition confirmed
EQUITANA
Brisbane is set to host a CDI - W Dressage World Cup qualifying
event at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), on
Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of November.
Australia's
top Dressage riders will compete for World Cup points in Australia's
best international indoor arena, right in the heart of Brisbane.
Brisbane
local and Sydney Olympian, Ricky MacMillan, has expressed her interest
in the event and is keen to compete. With a string of recent successes
to her name, Ricky is likely to be travelling to Jerez, Spain in
September to compete as part of the Australian Dressage Team in
the World Equestrian Games. Ricky's horse 'Crisp' will be flown
home after Jerez, and should be out of quarantine in plenty of time
for EQUITANA Brisbane.
For
more information, please contact Cathy Oates on the details below.
3. Exhibition Space at EQUITANA
The
response for exhibition space at EQUITANA Brisbane has been overwhelming.
Over 50% of space has already been sold.
Companies
are quickly realising the potential that this market has for their
business. Queensland has one of the largest horse populations per
capita in the world and has a proven high demand for equine products
and services.
With
only 10,000sqm of space available for the exhibition, we expect
to sell out very quickly. Therefore to avoid disappointment, book
your preferred booth today.
For
exhibition information, please contact Fraser Bayne (details below),
