Edition 279 is our National Finals Magazine, and we are so excited to share it with you!
We have thoroughly enjoyed putting this magazine together and covering the great week that was the highly anticipated ACA National Finals in Goondiwindi! Here is the inside scoop into Edition 279!
Edition 279’s Front Cover
ACA’s National Finals magazines always feature the winner of the Ariat Champion Open Rider Competition, and this year the cover features Ben Hall, who won the competition with 2409.55 points. This is the fourth year in a row that Ben has been crowned winner of this competition! In the image, Ben is pictured competing on Halls According – this great combination were the victors of the Carrington Cotton & Cunningham Cattle Co Novice Campdraft.
