25.01.2022 This Saturday, 5 September at the Toowoomba Showgrounds from 8.30am we have the Queensland Mounted Infantry Challenge involving ten teams replicating the field skills of the original Light Horsemen, including tent pegging, bayonets, swords, lances and rifles. Skilled women and men will put their ponies through their paces and give us an indication of what it must have been like all those years ago. You’re invited, there’s no charge, bring a picnic lunch and please be COVID aware and remember social distancing, plus you can have a peep at the evolving Toowoomba Showgrounds Wilderness Challenge course! We look forward to seeing you there
