Our Society's new Helene Scarf Perpetual Trophy is at Sydney Royal and ready to be presented to the winner of the Ridden Shire Class this Friday. It is the one in the middle of our Society's other two Perpetual Trophies. Helene Scarf is presenting the trophy. Helene has an amazing history of promoting Shires in Australia including importing the first registered Shires to come into Australia for 60 years. In 1981, she imported her c**t, Ladbrook Edward, and soon after some Shire mares. She is our President today, over 40 years later.
