Sundays are for our kids! 🤍🐴

There’s something pretty special about watching the next generation of our sport step into the arena, challenge themselves, learn, and grow. Seeing these young riders improve year after year — building confidence, horsemanship and a love for the sport — is what it’s all about. 🌟

We’re so proud to support our junior competitors and create opportunities for them to get out there, have a go, and enjoy the sport we all love.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible sponsors for getting behind our juniors and helping make these events possible. Your support means more opportunities, more experiences and more memories for the next generation. 🫶

Sunday meet The Congress crew is Corinne.
Rinnie an accomplished horse woman and trainer has provided us with unwavering support over the last few years and was a driving force in getting the Congress off the ground.
She helps Jim and Bec make a lot of the important decisions in re to programs, timetables etc.
When not on a horse she is behind the camera, on the computer, in the bar, sorting prizes. She is there when the gates open to the grounds at the start of the week and one of the last ones to leave at the end of the week.
This year Corinne has filled in the gaps assisting Bec with some of our marketing and behind the scenes planning.
We are so grayeful and simply could not do Congress with out her❤️

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the Tassas Reflection Under 25 Challenge and helped us create an event that celebrates the next generation of our industry.

Our Under 25 competitors are the future of performance horse competition. They are the young riders putting in the hours, developing their horses, chasing their goals and building the skills and confidence that will carry our industry forward.

The Under 25 Challenge is all about giving these young competitors the opportunity to step into the arena, compete alongside some of the best, and showcase what they can do. 🤠🐴

The Under 25 Challenge will run in conjunction with the Open Challenge, giving our young competitors the chance to compete throughout the event before the top competitors earn their place in the Under 25 Final on Saturday night.

And it gets even better… ⭐️

The Under 25 Final will be LIVE STREAMED, thanks to the incredible support of Martin’s Stock Haulage, giving friends, family and supporters from near and far the opportunity to watch these young stars battle it out for the title.

A huge thank you to our buckle sponsor, cattle donors and prize sponsors for investing in our young competitors and helping us give the next generation the platform they deserve.

We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

If you’ve got an early run you would have met Becky.
She is our Congress morning shift queen.
Marshalling, announcing, backyards, bar she is anywhere and everywhere.
A manager at a local feedlot we are so lucky to have experienced team members like Becky helping us each and every year.

The Derby Challenge is an exciting event for horses aged five and six years, creating a fantastic opportunity to see last year’s Classic horses return to the arena and compete stronger than ever. It’s a true celebration of the development, talent and future of our performance horses, while giving these young horses another chance to shine.

We are incredibly grateful for every business that has come on board to support this event and help make it something special for our competitors and our industry. We can’t wait to see everyone at The Congress! 🐴✨
