The Voice Of The Show – Carol Heuchan

Carol Heuchan is a lady of many hats. She has been a professional horsewoman for most of her life, training riders and show horses and competing successfully in thirty-four Royal Easter Shows. She is also a highly qualified National Judge and has judged internationally.

In 2003, her first book was published and led her to the world of Bush Poetry which she took by storm, amassing a swag of awards. Twice Australian Champion and nine times Laureate award winner, five books and six CD’s, she is also the winner of the richest prize in poetry history – a thirty-four-thousand-dollar tractor!

Carol has been on the winning team in the World Poetry Debate and has been part of numerous Australia-wide radio programs and featured in the ABC television series “Bush Slam”, shown many times on national prime time television.

This year she has just completed her fifteenth International performance tour of the US and she entertained every day at this year’s Royal Easter Show.

Carol Heuchan is in great demand as an entertainer, compere, writer, guest speaker, judge of horses and poetry, and horse events commentator (anything to get out of housework, she says!)

You may have heard her voice at the Royal Easter Show where she was the very popular Main Arena Commentator for many years. Carol has had a long association with Agricultural Shows and combining this connection and passion with her talent at the microphone, ensures Blacktown Show will be worth listening to!
