07.01.2022 *****CANCELLED***** Kilkivan Great Horse Ride has been Cancelled for 2020. This was a unanimous decision made by the committee, members and people who attended the meeting on the 11/01/2020. We will be back bigger and better in 2021 for the 35th year with main street parade, carriage trail, stalls, displays and our Tom Grady Concert Friday and Saturday night and lots of family friendly entertainment. We would like to thank everyone that came and supported us at the meeting ...in making this difficult decision. With very unpredictable weather conditions, the drought, lack of water and high risk of fire danger. This could change with some land owners are not prepared to take this risk by letting us gaining access to private property's with such conditions also lack of supporters and volunteers that are able to assist with the running of the Kilkivan Great Horse Ride. If you are able to support the 2021 ride with volunteering to help please email your detail to [email protected] We will announce the KGHR 2021 dates Shortly. Please show your support for this event and invite you friends/clubs to take part and become spectators at the main street parade. Better still come for the weekend enjoy what Kilkivan has to offer. We understand some people will be disappointed. We are just as disappointed we could not continue with organizing this event for participants. Looking forward to seeing you in 2021.
