The Barastoc Horse of the Year Show is one of the most prestigious events on the Australian Equestrian calendar and provides competition for a vast array of horse breeds and types. It's more than a show, it's the biggest and most forward thinking event of it's kind. The competition is strong as every competitor aspires for their horse to own the highest title of Barastoc Horse of the Year.

The organising committee knows that the competition world is made up of many layers, the small number of absolutely elite competitors, and the far wider base of riders who love their horses and love to compete. It's a show person's holiday as well, with the chance to sit and camp with friends, chat & enjoy the camaraderie. The Greatest Show on Turf, is alive and vibrant in its 43rd year.
