March is a massive month in the Valley for equestrian events:

Yarra Glen ARC hosts their first Dressage Day in their upcoming series at Wesburn Park on Friday 8 March with Pheonix running its Dressage Day on 16 Marchalso at Wesburn Park.

Everyone’s favourite, the Wandin Park Horse Trials then runs over the following weekend 22-24 March at Wandin Park. Plenty to do and see.

Upper Yarra ARC Combined Training is on 14 April and the Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Dressage Jackpot Weekend will run May 11 and 12 with entries open now at Event Secretary. The Pony Club will be raising much-needed funds for local volunteer-run charity ‘Forever Friends Animal Rescue’. An option to donate to the charity is available when doing your entries, and there will also be a raffle and other goodies available, and if attendees are lucky, some furry friends will be visiting on Sunday to say hello to.

A little birdie has also shared the news that Wesburn Park will also be welcoming back the much-loved Brumby Festival in October, so looking forward to hearing more about that.
