📣 Help Shape the Future of AgShows NSW

AgShows NSW is developing its next Strategic Plan, and we want to hear from the people who know agricultural shows best.

Whether you're a volunteer, committee member, exhibitor, competitor, steward, judge, supporter, sponsor, partner, or simply passionate about your local Show, your perspective matters.

The survey provides an opportunity to share your views on what's working well, the challenges facing agricultural shows, and the priorities that should guide AgShows NSW into the future. As part of the survey, you'll also have the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed direction and priorities for the organisation.

Your feedback will help ensure our next Strategic Plan reflects the needs, aspirations and future of agricultural shows across New South Wales.

📝 The link to complete the survey is in the comments below.

📅 The survey closes on Sunday, 26 July 2026.

Please feel free to share this post with others involved in your local Show. The more voices we hear, the stronger our Strategic Plan will be.

Thank you for taking the time to have your say.

The Brumby 250 inaugural event took place on the 27th of April 2019.
This event ,organized by Kath Massey of The Hunter Valley Brumby Association , was one of the most spectacular events the show has ever seen.
This explains in Kath’s own words how it ran. Four trainers were invited to participate in the event which trains Brumbies captured in Kosciuszko National Park.

They have 250 days to turn these wonderful wild horses into working horses.

Kathryn Massey of the Hunter Valley Brumby Association told News Of The Area, “The trainers had three days to get to know their horses before starting on their training programs.”

The Brumby 250 Tournament sets the highest of animal welfare standards, therefore our trainers have been given 250 days to train their Brumbies during the summer.

All of the Brumbies chosen to participate in the Brumby 250 were thoroughly examined by the associations veterinarian within two weeks of the start of the competition.

The final events are set for April 2019 beginning with a Working Equitation Competition at Stroud NSW where the trainers and Brumbies will not only compete amongst themselves but also domestic horses and their riders, both national and international.

“All of our Brumbies and trainers will compete at the Stroud Show in both the led and ridden classes, finishing with a freestyle event performed to music on Saturday,” she said.

The HVBA promotes Brumbies as a breed of choice, to improve popularity and showcase the breed to individuals and interested groups.

The Brumby 250 is one way the association is showcasing how capable Brumbies can be.

The Brumbies of Kosciuszko are in danger once again, aerial culling has recommenced.
Our local member Dave Layzell is down there fighting for a humane way for these iconic horses to be managed and preserved.
