Tatura Park will bring together elite horse trainers from across Australia, New Zealand and the United States for the four-day event, starting Thursday.
Founded by The Australian Cowgirl Co’s Kim Peterson, Legacy of the Horse was born from a passion for celebrating true horsemanship — where trust, timing and connection take centre stage.
Inspired by international events such as Road to the Horse, this competition shines a spotlight on the art of starting young horses with feel, respect and a solid foundation for the future.
The event will showcase a lineup of six highly skilled trainers from various disciplines.
Three selected championship trainers are joined by three wild card competitors, with the winner of the wild card round advancing to the championship to complete the final four.
Over the course of four days, each trainer works with a two-year-old horse — lightly handled and carefully selected by the official horse supplier, Woodstock Paint Horses.
Trainers will demonstrate their unique methods in building trust, communication and performance potential with each of their young horses.
The event also features:
- Masterclasses and clinics by leading horsemen and women
- Opportunities to engage trainers for ongoing development of their horse
- A focus on education, inspiration and ethical horsemanship
- Entertainment by some of Australia’s talented equine entertainers
- A horse sale, giving spectators the chance to take home one of the started horses
The four day event will begin on Thursday, September 18 and finish on Sunday, September 21. For the full schedule or for more information, head to legacyofthehorse.com
