The Midweek Dressage Winter Series concluded on Wednesday at Shirley Heights EC in the most gorgeous sunshine, the next Spring Series Round 1 entries are now available on Event Secretary, starting on September 11 2024 with Round 2 and 3 on October 16 and November 20.
UYPC have their second Poles and Jumping Clinic on September 22, with entries filling up very quickly please get on it quickly if you wish to attend as a lead-up to the Freshmans Series on Saturday October 5, Cup Day Tuesday November 5 and Saturday November 23 2024.
UYARC are holding their Annual Dressage In The Valley event at Wesburn Park on Saturday 26 October, entries are open now via Event Secretary.
On a more upsetting note, the Upper Yarra Pony Club have yet again been getting complaints about dogs in the Equestrian Area that are not on leads, or in their owners control, being hostile and rude when asked to control their dogs or move out of the area. This is incredibly disappointing to continually be happening, and I again urge anyone being threatened or abused to call 000 if you feel you are in danger and immediately report the incident to Yarra Ranges Council.
Please keep an eye on your ponies/horses prone to foundering from now on as the warmer weather has certainly sparked lots of new growth around.
Happy Riding everyone.
