A very busy week this week with an extra School Holiday Rally for Upper Yarra Pony Club kiddos, and lets not forget the Mums as well who joined in on the games races.

Then Saturday at Wesburn Park, the Upper Yarra Pony Club were lucky enough to get through the first Freshman’s day in the Spring Series without any rain, with a great turnout and a well-received ‘G’ grade starting point. The second event in this series will be on Cup Day Tuesday 5 November.

Sunday UYPC’s Riders Without Horses members got a special treat visiting Shirley Heights Equestrian Centre, riding in the indoor arena then walking the Cross Country course from the Horse Trials last weekend.

Don’t forget to get your entries in for UYARC’s Dressage In The Valley event coming up the end of October.

An EA Dressage competition has been announced by Shirley Heights on 9 November, entries are available at Event Secretary.
