Perfect day on Sunday after a very chilly start, for UYPC’s Riders Without Horses Rally, fun for kids and adults who don’t have access to their own horses.

It was followed by an extra School Holiday Rally for regular members. Games and obstacles for the day, with some very fast running and dismounting from the crew and followed by a nice cross country walk and jump.

Coming up next monthwill be a show-jumping and poles clinic at Wesburn Park on Sunday 11 August, this will incorporate lessons for the newly announced by Pony Club Victoria “G” grade jumpers.

This is a new introductory level with a height of 30cms for the smaller ponies and children, with no speed penalties is a great opportunity to learn and practice over smaller fences to gain the all important confidence to continue up the grades. All enquiries to anita.horses@gmail.com

Hopefully, some warmer weather coming along soon, Happy Riding Everyone!
