‘Talking Horses’ on 91.3 Sportfm - Special Guests on Wednesday 8th September between 6 and 7pm will be the Royal Agricultural Society Councillor in Charge of ring events Andrew Williams and leading WA National carriage driving coach and judge Marg Langan.
Marg has been involved in educating, showing and breeding a variety of breeds including American Saddlebreds and Hackneys and other different horse breeds. She has held a number of Carriage Driving committee positions at Federal, State and Club level, as well as the RAS and Arabian Horse Societies.
As a business owner working in the equestrian industry most of her free time is given to judging or coaching at various carriage clubs across Australia and overseas. She has judged twice at the Sydney Royal Show and also judged at the Adelaide Royal Show.
The Councillor in Charge of Ring Events - Andrew started volunteering at the Perth Royal Show in 2006 as Marshal for the horse section. In 2008 he became a Councillor and after a number of years working in other sections, primarily cattle, he returned to horses where he became assistant Councillor for horses in 2018 and then Ring Master in 2019.
Outside of the Royal Agricultural Society, Andrew has had a widely varied career and is currently working for Uniting Care West. Although he has ridden horses in the past, his current passion is cycling.
The 2021 Perth Royal Show will be different, in terms of what’s happening, but also the physical footprint of the grounds. For horses this means no breed classes and restricted hacking. Show Jumping, Pony Club and Carriage Driving will still be going ahead.
Due to the current Covid-19 situation there may be caps on attendance of the Perth Royal Show each day - so make sure you get your tickets soon!
