DO I HAVE TO WEAR A HELMET?
YES! All riders must wear helmets. Helmets can save people lives when horse riding, imagine if you chose not to wear a helmet that one time...
DO I NEED TO BUY A TICKET?
Thanks to the sponsorship of Bendigo Bank and Blue Mountains City Council, there will be no charge on the gate for spectators in 2024. We hope that will encourage plenty of non-riders to drop in and have a look. The Gymkhana is run by the Megalong Valley Community & Landowners Association P/L which is a not-for-profit community group. All persons involved in the planning & running of the event are volunteers, 100% of funds from the rider's entry fees, food and bar go back to the event or to the community association.
