Kulin Bush Races
Tin Horse Competition
About The Competition
Every October, Kulin Bush Races holds a Tin Horse Competition with judging on race day. This has helped keep our Tin Horse Highway grow and adds another element to race day.
Generous prize money is offered, but the thrill of having a horse displayed on the Tin Horse Highway is a major draw card for entrants.
Join The Competition
Make a tin horse in time for the Kulin Bush Races and you could be in the running for a share of generous prize money.
We are always on the lookout for new tin horses, so if you have an idea, we encourage you wherever you may live, to enter our Tin Horse Highway Competition.
We are always happy to assist if you wish to get involved, whether it be ideas, design materials or how and when to get your horse idea onto the highway.
Contact the competition coordinator Wendy Gangell on 0429805224 or wendy@agsolutionswa.com.au .
We are looking forward to your entry – good luck!
About The Tin Horse Highway
It all began when a horse made from an old 44 gallon drum was placed on the dam bank at the corner of Jilakin Rock North Road.
From there, it grew into a friendly rivalry between locals to produce fun horses, made from scrap metal and metal drums, that are placed on the roadside.
The iconic Tin Horse Highway is much more than metal and has become a well- known tourist attraction by visitors from all over Australia.
Rules
