Wesburn Park will be hosting Amaroo Riding Club’s annual HRCAV Show May 13 entries closing soon, and the club will then have the Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Dressage Jackpot Weekend May 27 and 28 with entries

open on the Event Secretary website, fingers crossed the weather stays as lovely for a little longer.

There has been a rather large influx of laminitis and colic related incidents around the valley, due to the warmer weather, grass growth and a few colder mornings. Please watch your founder-prone ponies or those with cushion’s disease as we move into winter.

Upper Yarra PC “warmbloods” group are currently working on some cross-country fence designs that we will be adding to our cross-country area when completed. We love having the kids involved in the design and naming process and are very excited to see what they come up with. We are looking forward to upgrading the area to accommodate some future events, and welcome our local equestrian community input and ideas. Stay tuned and Happy Riding!
