A must see when you visit Katherine, thoroughly enjoyed the show. - My husband and I went to this show and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tom, Ari and Pete are all so knowledgeable and are great entertainers. The show varies from horse training, to showing the skills of working dogs and allowing you to get up close to animals you wouldn't normally encounter such as Baz the Brahman bull. The attention given to the audience as well with the cold towels, cold water and icypoles was above and beyond. Thank you to all the staff involved, the show was very entertaining and informative and Fluffy was a standout 😊

Its different... love it.... - Its different... love it. Love that each show is never the same as what you watched last time you visited. Love that humans, horses, dogs, goats, geese, cattle, all have different personalities. Puppies are beautiful, especially when they are old enough to muster other small goats etc. Keep up the good work Tom love it.
