EQUITANA Melbourne has announced that the hugely popular Australian Brumby Challenge will be returning in 2018 and will be partnering with Dolly’s Dream Foundation to develop a Youth Award in memory of Dolly Everett.
The Australian Brumby Challenge was developed by the Victoria Brumby Association and launched at EQUITANA Melbourne in 2016. The Challenge follows the journey of 20 trainers as they transform untamed Brumbies passively captured from Victoria’s high country, from wild to willing in 150 days. The Final is held across four days of EQUITANA, with trainers showcasing the transformation of their Brumby in front the crowd and an expert panel of judges.
All Brumbies will be available to purchase through registered auction at the conclusion of the competition on the final day of EQUITANA and the value of the highest selling Yearling will be donated to Dolly’s Dream Foundation.
