Last weekend saw the annual Upper Yarra Pony Club (UYPC) Dressage Jackpot, run for the first time over Saturday and Sunday. This allowed UYPC some more entries, enabled more tests to be ridden on the sand and the ability to keep on top of things much easier and will be something UYPC will continue as it was definitely deemed a successful trial.

Jackpot results were:

PC G2 winner – Ella Tosh on Carronade, Yarra Glen PC

PC G3 winner – Sarah Laukart on HSV Charisma, Upper Beacconsfield PC

PC G4 winner – Audrey Murphy on Emerald, Cockatoo and District PC

PC G5 winner – Lilly Kitto on Finding Nemo, Seville PC

PC G6 winner – Harper Falls on Mikani Midnight Gambler, Ringwood PC

OPEN ADV winner – Skye Wright on Kamber Pryderi

OPEN G1 winner – Fern Wright on Kamber Merfyn

OPEN G2 winner – Dianne Wilkinson on Riverbend Wahine Te Nui

OPEN G3 winner – Jaimee Simpson on Darwin Park Spyderman

OPEN G4 winner – Kerrie Bellett on Silkwood Eclipse

OPEN G5 winner – Louisa Smith on Harkaway Lodge Genna

OPEN G6 winner – Monroe Bellett on Oakey

Thanks to all competitors, judges and volunteers who make the events so enjoyable and fun to organise and run.
