A Show Day Experience is a perfect opportunity to make valuable networking connections within the show industry, and improve your handling skills while representing a successful major or minor breeder in the show ring. Learn about the ins and outs of owning and showing a stud, the work that goes into preparing a team for show and experience first hand behind the scenes of a well-run event. Most show day experiences are invitations to attend a ‘day show’ (a local, single day agricultural show), while the Boonong Park and the Boonong Park and Montone offers are to work closely with the stud in the lead up to the show as well as spending multiple days with the breeder at the multi-day show.
