The Arabian Extravaganza Championships followed on from The Victorian Championships with again a very strong attendance and quality horses competing for the prestigious titles on offer. Another very hard working committee that clearly have created a well run and organised programme that flowed well over the duration of the show. Queensland Judges Paul Austin (Saddle) and Mark Lilley (Halter) did a wonderful job not only officiating in their rings but keeping competitors well informed and entertained throughout the day. Results for the major awards were:

The show finished with a wonderful array of positive and happy competitors who over two days and one night combined to make the weekend a huge successes.. Maybe food for thought for other show organisers to try and work together to create events that offer so much more to the competitors. Congratulations to both committees on achieving a great atmosphere and two wonderful shows.
