Major Sponsor

Wyndham City Council Sponsor

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Wyndham

Council for their steadfast support of the annual National

Clydesdale & Heavy Horse Festival. For 17 wonderful years,

this beloved event has brought together magnificent heavy

horses and passionate equestrians to Werribee Park each

January. From the majestic Clydesdales to the sturdy Shires,

the festival celebrates these gentle giants and the special bond

they share with their owners. We are deeply thankful to have

had the Wyndham Council as our devoted partner since the

very first festival. Their unwavering commitment has allowed

this event to thrive and create joyous memories for so many.

We look forward to many more years of collaboration and

cannot thank the Wyndham Council enough for helping make

this festival a cherished tradition.

We need you!

URGENT REQUEST. Hello Members! For all those who were able to attend, I think everyone will agree what a fantastic event the 2024 National Clydesdale & Heavy Horse Festival (NC&HHF) continues to be! This year's event was indeed, bigger & better as was promised! Rob Ronzio & a hard-working sub-committee have done an amazing job in making the Festival happen each year & in managing its growth into the significant event that we all now look forward to each year. Whilst we all enjoy the event - there is a huge amount of work that happens, unseen by most, to ensure its success! As most are already aware, Rob has decided it is time to hand over the reins to someone new & to step back into a support role. We are extremely fortunate & excited to announce that Bill Jackson has stepped forward & is keen to pick up those NC&HHF reins. Bill is very keen to lead from the front in the planning & management of the event going forward & is now seeking people to assist in ensuring the NC&HHF is an ongoing success. We are looking for people who are willing to contribute in any way they are able, over the many & varied tasks that it takes to make the event happen. Tasks include (but are not limited to!):-Helping with set up &/or pack up before & after the Festival. Being a StewardAssisting with manning the GateAssisting with catering for judges/stewardsAssisting with sponsorship Assisting with promotionsBooking items for use at the event (toilets/marques/caterers/etc)Being a runner/gofer during the event ordering of ribbons & garlandsOrganising ribbons into boxes ready for stewards etc etc etc etc ....This is by no means an exhaustive list - but gives an idea of what we need help with. If you can assist a little or a lot ... we want to hear from you! Let's ensure this fantastic event continues to grow from strength to strength! If you want to see the NC&HHF continue, please consider the above & get in contact. We would love to hear from you! You know what they say .. many hands ... light work!!

Thanks in advance! Clydesdales Victoria CCHSA Vic Branch Inc
