💩 Friendly reminder to please pick up ALL manure around the grounds, including the main use areas. Many hands, make light work! If you are using stables, please return them how you found them! Cleaned out with shavings left in the middle.

Good luck to everyone competing today in Round 6! 🤠🐎

Pop over to The Pineapple Shack for all your Pineapple refreshments at Sugar City Barrel Racers on today at the Mackay Showgrounds.

They even have a special little treat for your furry oversized four legged friends! 🐎

Good morning everyone — it’s a great morning for racing! 🤠☀️

Just a reminder that we kick off at 12:00pm sharp with exhibitions, so please make sure you’re ready to go.

We’d also appreciate everyone helping out on the gate throughout the day. As per our rule book, all members are required to volunteer some of their time. If you notice the gate unattended, or someone has been on there for a while, please jump in and lend a hand. Many hands make light work and help the day run smoothly for everyone!

See you all soon 🐎

As usual, there is also no parking permitted on the other side of the warm up pen.
