Star Power and Stunning Scenery as Tour d'Horse Continues

Tour d’Horse riders are back in the saddle for Day Four of the ride, taking on the breathtaking Hunter River Scenic Trail, proudly supported by Archibald Neasham Racing. With just days remaining, momentum is building as riders push toward their $1 million fundraising goal for the KIDS Foundation, helping young Australians recovering from trauma and injury.

On the ride today is Australian film legend Tom Burlinson, whose iconic role in The Man From Snowy River continues to inspire generations. His appearance is a powerful nod to the horse-human connection at the heart of this event.

Also lending their voices and support are director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap, The Man from Snowy River) and KIDS Foundation Founder and CEO Dr Susie O’Neill OAM, both available for media interviews today.

“Tour d’Horse is about so much more than the kilometres we cover,” said Dr O’Neill. “It’s about the power of horses to bring people together, to heal, to inspire, and to remind us what really matters. To have people like Tom Burlinson and Simon Wincer join us along with riders from across the country is incredible. The impact we’re making together will change lives.”

Interview opportunities are available today with Tom Burlinson, Simon Wincer, Dr Susie O’Neill and Annabel Neasham.
