Lauren Taylor, member of the Horse Festival Committee said the local men who participated in the calendar were good sports and they hope the local community supports the new calendar to raise money for thee worthy charities.

“The Committee would like to thank all of the ‘studs’ who are a part of the calendar this year,” said Ms Taylor.

“They were all really good sports, we couldn’t have asked for nicer gentleman to be in our calendar and luckily they’re all pretty easy on the eye too,” she said.

“Most importantly, the calendar will be raising money for three very worthy charities – Riding for the Disabled, Variety and the Olivia Inglis Eventing Scholarship in memory of the young rider Olivia Inglis who was recently killed in a riding accident at the Scone Horse Trials,” she said.

“The calendar will be on sale for $20 at local newsagencies, the Visitor Information Centre, the Neighbourhood Centre and at various events throughout the Scone Horse Festival,” Lauren Taylor said.
