In any event, this guides council’s support CAMPASPE Shire Council’s 2019-2024 event strategy has recognised the need to grow our events calendar, especially during quiet periods, to generate a higher economic benefit to the shire. Council adopted the strategy at its meeting last week, which will set the priority areas for growth in events across the shire for the next five years. Mayor Adrian Weston said the original strategy was developed in 2012 and council had identified a need to review it to make sure it continued to drive both social and economic benefits from events across the region. ‘‘The landscape for events has changed significantly over the past seven years, however, the principals relating to event support continue to be relevant,’’ Cr Weston said. ‘‘The strategy guides council’s support for events and outlines how this can be achieved.’’ The review included a desktop analysis, SWOT assessment and consultation with event organisers and key stakeholders. Events across Campaspe Shire range from small community events of about 100 people to major events of more than 40,000 attendees, including national and international visitors as well as locals. The vision of the strategy is to continue to support Campaspe’s diverse range of events, creating a vibrant events calendar contributes to economic growth and social cohesion, while developing capacity to attract new events. The strategy considers council’s role in events, its involvement in supporting event organisers to meet their compliance/legislative requirements, the funding of events, encouraging event growth and diversification and the attraction of new events. ‘‘A review of the event funding framework and matrix was key to ensuring that council can cater for all types of events and support funding,’’ Cr Weston said. A copy of the strategy is available on council’s website. Remuda Horse Show a mane event for Elmore ‘ There were a lot of great entries, a lot of great horses and overall just great people ’ HORSE lovers trotted down to the Elmore Equestrian Park recently for the beloved Remuda Horse Show. More than 100 horses competed to win titles in 11 versatility classes including cattle and general riding events from May 9-12. ‘‘It all went really well and not even the rain could stop them,’’ event co- organiser Bronte Monaghan said. The classes are designed to show the training skills of the riders with horses being treated respectfully; building a desire to work and work in a partnership. The roping events are highly skilled classes used on ranches and properties to care for stock where gentle stock handling is needed. The riding pattern classes show the quick footedness and ease of the horses carrying out different manoeu- vres. International judge Jed Lawrence was flown from the US for the event. ‘‘Events like these are just the foundation of our countries,’’ Mr Lawrence said. ‘‘Horses have been with us since the beginning of time and we relied on them, so it’s just very important to keep the heritage alive for the younger generations.’’ Mr Lawrence said the standard of competitors was phenomenal. ‘‘There were a lot of great entries, a lot of great horses and overall just great people,’’ he said. ‘‘The winners were just solid every time. Nobody really went ahead and try to over-ride their horses and they understood their horses and their class.’’ Winners of this year’s show include Melody Wupper for the youth ranch- man versatility category, Lara Mearchern for her great performance in the amateur vaquero versatility section, Roy Marchinton for vaquero versatility, Danny Kopa for open ranchman versatility, Dawn Woodley for the amateur ranchman versatility and Bruno Robinson took home the big prize for grand champion of the vaquero novice amateur versatility. The sport is the fastest growing western-style event, providing famil- ies with the opportunity to show from free youth classes through to the thrilling reined cow horse event for the masters of horsemanship. Its history goes back to the Spanish vaqueros working on ranches and those same skills are used on cattle properties in Australia. The show has attracted attention from across the country with spectators coming from South Austra- lia, NSW and across Victoria. ‘‘Elmore is such a great community. It’s very neat with a lot of family- owned businesses and the people were just so down to Earth and it’s just a great little town,’’ Mr Lawrence said. ■ Connie Jessup on her horse Get Lucky. ■ Roy Marchinton on Cuttelenas Little Rooster. ■ Jessica Soulsby on Attards Romance. ■ Dawn Woodley on Colliban Black Texan. ■ Lara McEachern on Tapt Again.
