The weekend weather certainly turned into winter very quickly.

Despite the cold, wet and drizzly conditions, Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Beginners Gymkhana had record entries with many enjoying the addition this year

of a Fashions On The Field class.

Riders came from all over the state to enjoy an event catering solely for beginners and those just starting out.

In ring 2, the club had a Handymount class, with fun obstacles and a bending race and ride and lead race.

Even in the rain, all riders had some amazing times being run and lots of giggling along the way.

Fancy Dress is always amazing, with so many hours of preparations going in to some amazing costumes.

Class winners received a Lucky Dip gift, photography voucher from Rathenau Photography and the ever popular lolly bags.

Can’t wait for next year.

Happy Riding everyone.
