Sarah Entsch clinched the Champion Junior Beef Parader award, whose adept handling and presentation of her cattle impressed the judges.
In the junior category, Daniel Harris stood out, earning the Junior Encouragement Award for his promising performance and enthusiasm.
The “pinnacle of the cattle competition” saw Pinnacle Pocket crowned the Supreme Champion Stud Beef Bull.
Similarly, the Supreme Champion Stud Beef Female title was awarded to Maple Downs.
The horse competitions at the Atherton Show saw a spectacle of grace, agility, and excellence.
Victoria Bartlett stole the spotlight, winning the Supreme Champion of Show and the Grand Champion Pony of Show.
Meanwhile, Lily Bisset’s horse was awarded the Grand Champion Horse of Show.
The Grand Champion Rider Overall award went to Samantha Le Brocq, whose superior riding skills and poise on horseback were unmatched throughout the competition.
Michelle Machan was awarded the Supreme Champion Hack of Show, with her horse’s flawless presentation and performance securing the top honour.
Event manager Kylie Lang said it was great to see a high calibre of entries in all of the competitions and was keen to see what would come through the gates next year.
“It was a really successful show, and we definitely had more people come through the gates than last year,” she said.
“The cattle were great, the horses were amazing, and it was overall a great show.”
