In very exciting news this week, Shirley Heights have confirmed coach Fredrico Schiappa Pietra Saramago is returning to Australia, from Portugal for some not to be missed clinic dates, to be announced shortly.
The event Secretary will have booking information when available, don’t miss this amazing opportunity!
Yarra Glen Ag Show was on the weekend, while the weather wasn’t the best, lots of smiles everywhere and some fantastic local results.
UYPC are still offering half-price memberships for this year, in both regular pony club membership, adult membership (yes, pony club have this now) and the fantastic Riders Without Horses membership for those who do not have access to their own horse or pony. Great social and equine fun for the whole family, social activities, fundraising and education.
Looking forward to the Wandin International Horse Trials in March, for those competing entries are at Nominate, for those there for a look, get in early to get a good vantage point and enjoy!
Wesburn Park Equestrian area bookings are filling up fast, if anyone is considering running any competitions/clinics etc this year please get your date preferences in as soon as possible to guarantee a spot or contact the Upper Yarra Pony Club to discuss options.
We are still getting reports constantly for reckless driving in the area around horse riders. This is so incredibly dangerous and quite sickening. Please parents explain to your newly licensed drivers they could kill or seriously injure someone way too easily. Please continue to be aware of these people around you and try to stay calm. Please report all incidents also.
Stay safe and Happy Riding!
