A golden horseshoe hidden in Karratha could bring one lucky resident $5,000 just in time for Christmas. The giveaway, called the Golden Horseshoe Hunt, is a real-world treasure hunt organized by equestrian influencer Kate Redmond and the company Horsey People.
Kate Redmond, known to her 500,000 followers as My Pilbara Equestrian Life, will hide a distinctive gold horseshoe at a secret location in Karratha on Wednesday. Clues will be posted on her Facebook and Instagram leading up to December 25, guiding locals to the prize.
If someone finds the horseshoe before Christmas Eve, they will win $5,000. Redmond said she felt honored to be part of giving someone in the community a huge sum before Christmas, hoping it goes to someone who could really use the extra cash.
The contest extends beyond Karratha, with other horseshoes hidden in the Gold Coast, Sydney, and Brisbane. Each shoe is fitted with a GPS tracker and unique verification code to ensure fairness.
Horsey People, known for country lifestyle products, launched the hunt to support regional and rural Australians. Founder Menashe Segman said the contest brings joy and excitement to the community, as a way of saying thank you and spreading Christmas cheer.
To participate, Karratha locals aged 18 and over must follow Kate Redmond and Horsey People on social media and follow the clues to find the horseshoe first.
