Hooper Accountants Team Penning Week-End in Pittsworth
Pittsworth & District Campdraft Association in conjunction with Hooper Accountants, are bringing an up and coming horse sport – Team Penning to Pittsworth this weekend, the 11 & 12th September. Volunteers at work in preparation for this weekend's Team Penning. Team Penning is an extremely entertaining equine sport not only for the team of riders, but also is a real crowd pleaser. It is a fast paced and exciting event that gives a team of three riders 2 minutes to separate three same collar coloured cattle from a herd of up to 30 head. In conjunction with the Team Penning, a “Branding Board” will enable you to put your stock brand or company logo/brand on a silky oak board donated by McKinlay’s Nursery. All proceeds raised will be donated to the Frizzell Family to assist them with continuing treatment for 11 years old Lane Frizzell, who is fighting lymphoblastic leukaemia. Not a rider yourself but would like to be part of this fun activity? Why not sponsor a team for $60. They will ride under your business name. No gate admission to the Pittsworth Showgrounds, so come on down, pick a team and cheer your heart out. Food and refreshments will be available.
