The nation’s largest horse trifecta, the annual Dalby Australian Stock Horse Sale, has left organisers in a state of excitement as this year they will not only celebrate the Australian stock horse industry, but its 50th anniversary milestone.
The five-day event offers a jam-packed schedule of three days of campdrafting from Wednesday, 27 November to Friday, 29 November followed by the sale on Saturday, 30 November and Sunday, 1 December.
Having over 250 vendors from across the nation, the line-up consists of 329 lots of mares, and geldings with Ray White Livestock team selling them under the hammer.
Australian Stock Horse Society Darling Downs branch president Rick Young said it is very exciting to see record nominations to support this.
“As always we see thousands of vendors, buyers, competitors, spectators and their families make their way to Dalby to celebrate the magnificent Australian stock horses on offer,” he said.
“This year there will be action everywhere with memorabilia, horse shows, a huge entertainment line-up, a fully licensed bar, a rooftop restaurant, trade sits and reflections of our 50 years.
“The Darling Downs branch along with ray white are excited to be involved in such a huge tradition and promote the amazing Australian stock hose breed.
“We thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you all for the 50th year.”
Last year’s results saw a total gross of $4,853,000 with a clearance of 88 per cent, an average of $20,653 and a top price of $96,000.
Organisers say they are expecting similar results this year.
