Bernie Hearn, her husband, and their two sons share more than 50 years of competition and history in the showjumping arena at the Melbourne Royal Show. Now taking the reins for the first year as Melbourne Royal’s Horses in Action Committee Chair, Bernie is preparing for the 2024 Melbourne Royal Horses in Action Competition – and aside from her passion for showjumping there is one event firmly in the spotlight this year.

Perfectly presented cakes, painstakingly crafted crochets, and finessed fine arts will all be on display alongside an expected 4000 entries in the state’s biggest exhibition of creativity at the Melbourne Royal Show in September.

The Melbourne Royal Show is set to host thousands of enthusiastic canines and their proud owners competing for a prestigious blue ribbon with over 3000 entries anticipated for Australia's premier event among dog breeders.

The countdown to the 2024 Melbourne Royal Show has commenced! There are now less than 100 days until the opening day on Thursday 26 September and considerable planning has gone into maximising the appeal and success for all involved. I thank our members serving on our Agriculture and Leisure Section Committees who generously volunteer their valuable time to assist us develop and deliver quality competitions and provide us with wonderful support and advice.
