In 2016, the committee has chosen three very worthy groups – Variety Club, Riding for the Disabled and the Olivia Inglis Eventing Scholarship.
“Variety Club empowers Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs,” festival president Lee Watts said.
“Riding for the Disabled is a voluntary, non-profit organisation, which provides opportunities for anyone with a disability to enjoy safe, healthy, stimulating, therapeutic, horse-related activities.
“The Olivia Inglis Eventing Scholarship will offer emerging riders with funding to support their training and competition.”
The Scone and Upper Hunter Horse Festival starts on Thursday, continuing through until Sunday, May 15.
