THE REPRESENTATIVE 29 September 2017
ROUND&ABOUT
Horses, riders festival highlight
International tentpegging event for Tamboekie
CHUX FOURIE
NE of the main
attractions at this year’s
OTamboekie Festival is
sure to be the international
equestrian tentpegging event
– South Africa vs the
Sultanate of Oman (who are
the champions of Arabia).
The challenge will
commence on the first day of
the show, Friday October 20 at
2pm, and end at about the
same time the following day.
Like any international, this is
a clash not to miss. These
countries are considered to be
the top two at tentpegging in
the world at the moment.
It is also a great clash of
styles, with Oman known for
their flair and speed and the
South Africans for their skill
and uniformity. Whatever the
result, this competition with
horse, speed and weapons is
bound to keep you
enter tained.
The main attraction on the
Friday evening will be a live
performance by the
well-known Lianie May who
will perform at 8.30pm.
“Guardians of Furry Friends”
will run a play area for kiddies
with a jumping castle, puppet
show, face-painting, games
and lots more. There will also
be a potjiekos competition and
old “Lion’s Den” style dance
on the Friday. These events are
all aimed at raising funds to
help abused and neglected
animals in our area, so
support for this worthy cause
is well worthwhile.
The show committee is also
proud to be hosting the first
Eastern Cape provincial
Arabian horse championships.
These beautiful horses can be
seen in the ring from 9am on
the Friday.
In true community style,
local talent will have the
chance to wow audiences at
the talent competition which
will take off at noon on the
S at u r d ay.
Other attractions at the
festival include the Klaas
Smits bar, the Presbyterian
steakhouse, South African
Police Service exhibits, a fun
fair, a 5D motion cinema, a
tattoo parlour, an old time
photo booth, paintball games,
mechanical bull rides, mini
train rides and vintage tractor
and engine club exhibits.
This is a real community
festival that deserves
community support. Gate
entry is R50 for adults and
R20 for juniors.
