~ FEATURE ~ PG.30 Calling all Horse Lovers… The ‘Night of the Horse’ IS SET TO BE AUSTRALIA’S BIGGEST NIGHT OF EQUINE ENTERTAINMENT, EXCELLENCE AND EDUCATION. W ith a list of world first stunts in his holster, show director Dave Manchon is bringing an all-star line-up of horses and trainers to the AELEC arena in Tamworth with a never before seen production that is set to make you catch your breath as you watch this World Class Production. Dave Manchon’s exciting style of Equine Arena Shows are recognised as providing some of the most exciting and talked about moments seen in the equine industry today. With its own impressive record of popular performances the Rooftop Express Show is widely recognized as the “event highlight” wherever it goes. Building on this success Dave has invited a group of Blue Ribbon trainers together with the simple aim of showing people what is possible with horses. Throughout the night Rob Leach (2018 Warwick Stallion Draft Winner), Brett Parbery (12 time Australian Dressage Champion and World Equestrian Games rider), Warren Backhouse (Highest Reining Australia money earning trainer $500,000 and counting) and Dave Manchon (Rooftop Express) will open up their training playbooks with their horses and talk candidly about horses, moments, philosophies and people that have helped build their careers. The Night of the Horse will also enable its audience to experience the variety and adrenaline of a fast-paced Wild West Show that features 58 horses throughout the production. There will be something for everyone with bulls and brahmans, donkeys and ducks high on the agenda of family entertainment. AUSTRALIAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION
