A very wet week has resulted in quite a few people missing events due to the ever-persistent hoof abscesses so hopefully lt will dry out a little soon.

A definite ‘save the date’ for riders’ diaries as Shirley Heights have announced their three-star EA National Horse Trials weekend for Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September 2024.

The second competition in the midweek Dressage series at Shirley Heights was postponed due to a little too much water, now being held this Wednesday 24 July.

Underway is the preparations for the 2024 Yarra Valley Horse Show set for Sunday 15 December at Wesburn Park. A big program again is in-store, with a couple of new and exciting surprises in the works. Anyone who has any classes they’d like to see added, please contact anita.horses@gmail.com as the organisers would love to hear from you.

Cockatoo & District Pony Club has their Dressage Jackpot on the weekend of 7 and 8 September with entries open now at Event Secretary.

Fingers crossed for some warmer, drier days coming up, Happy Riding Everyone.
