Come down and join us this Sunday, 20th September, for a fun, relaxed day of Arena Sorting, Team Penning and Camp drafting! 🐴🐮

We’ll kick off the morning with Arena Sorting, break for lunch, then get back in the saddle for an afternoon of Team Penning.

Whether you’ve got a seasoned horse you’d like to work or a young one that could benefit from some exposure, this is a great opportunity to get them out and about. The day is designed to be low-stress and enjoyable for riders, horses and cattle, with plenty of opportunity to have a go and build confidence.

📋 Paperwork must be finalised with Kat by 9am
🐴 Saddled up and ready to ride at 10am

Please message Kat Hall for your paperwork and to submit your nominations.

We’d love to see you there for a great day of horses, cattle and good company!

Stolen Hay Bales in Glenella

We’re aware that a few people in Mackay have decided to help themselves to hay bales we had only just baled in Glenella.

Just to be clear — these hay bales are NOT free!

To those who have helped themselves to our hay bales — you will be caught and you will be charged.

We are aware of what has been taken, and the appropriate authorities have been notified. This matter is being taken seriously, and there will be consequences for those responsible.

If you’ve taken any of our hay and would like to do the right thing, please come and see us at Bellerophon Equine Centre to pay what you owe.

And if you’re looking for hay, we’re more than happy to help — you’re welcome to purchase some the proper way! 😅

Please respect other people’s property. What isn’t yours isn’t yours to take.

Block out your calendars and join us this Sunday, 19th July, for another exciting Team Penning Day!

Whether you’re an experienced competitor or completely new to the sport, everyone is welcome. Team Penning is a fun and rewarding event that challenges horse and rider to work together while sorting cattle in a calm, controlled environment. It’s a fantastic way to build confidence, improve your horsemanship, and enjoy a great day with fellow riders.

If you’ve never experienced Team Penning before, check out the overview below to learn more about this exciting discipline.

Team Penning tasks three riders with cutting out three specific cattle from a group of thirty head and driving them down the arena away from the herd and guiding them into a 16′ x 24′ pen. This is a fast paced event that requires coordination between riders and their horses.
The ideal team penning arena is 200' x 100' in length. Locating the pen line and start/foul line is up to the co-ordinator. The line positions are referenced as a percentage of the arena's length.
30 head of cattle marked with coloured collars (or numbers) ,in sets of 3, (ie 3red, 3blue etc) are at the “mob" end of the arena. Teams (3 riders) attempt to cut out the assigned cattle from the mob and gather them in the "pen" at the opposite end of the arena within a 2 minute time limit.

To nominate or to receive your Membership and Information Pack, please message Kat Hall

📝 Please ensure all paperwork is completed with Kat by 9:30am.
🐎 We’ll be saddled up and ready to ride at 10:00am sharp.

If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message. We can’t wait to see you there!
