THE 2026 Moree Show springs into action today, with an incredible line-up of entertainment for young and old across two big days.
Headlining events is the Moree Show rodeo, an ABCRA-affiliated event, scheduled to jump from the chutes at 6pm tonight.
The new-look, junior-novice rodeo offers top prize money for emerging stars, as well as two buckles for champion novice saddle bronc rider and champion novice bull rider.
Novice saddle bronc and novice bull ride also each receive $1000 prize money, with junior bull rider for ages 14 to under-18 receiving $500.
The mini bull ride for ages 11 to under-14 is worth $200 and a mini bull ride for ages eight to under-11 offers $150.
Both days feature horse, cattle, wool and poultry sections as well as showjumping and yard dog trials.
The Off the Track event is for thoroughbreds that have raced or barrier-trialled, been pre-trained or underwent race preparations locally, nationally or internationally.
The competition offers $4000 prize money as well as Barastoc products.
Showjumping starts today, with a walk-the-course at 7.30am and competition starting at 8am, and continues tomorrow.
