The community’s invited to attend the 2022 Healesville Toyota Seville Pony Club and Open Horse Trials this weekend, with up to three hundred competitors expecting to join the day.
There will be plenty of action for attendees to enjoy, as the annual event is a state qualifier and holds open sections other association member can join.
Dressage, show jumping and cross country will be part of the program.
Seville Pony Club member Rachael Edwards said the event will cater for 35 centimetres right through to the open champs which is 1.10m.
“The thing that’s really unique about Horse Trials is it doesn’t age discriminate or gender discriminate. They’re all on equal footing so they all compete under the same rules,” Ms Edwards said.
Ms Edwards said a dedicated committee have been working hard to get the event up and running after the pandemic.
“Because of lock downs we couldn’t run as many fundraisers that we would have liked to in the previous years, so this one we’ve made it extra special.”
Many businesses have thrown their support behind the event, and this year Healesville Toyota is the overall banner sponsor gaining naming rights.
Pony Club members are thrilled to compete after months of preparation.
Competitor Kimberley is also looking forward to the trails after missing competing during lockdowns.
“Last year I just missed getting out, I just wanted to get out and do something go on cross country, show jump all of that sort of stuff,” she said.
