Shirley Heights EC have a Combined Training Day coming up as a lead-up to their Horse Trials weekend at the end of September, entries are now open at Event Secretary, Horse Trials entries are also open now, so get in quick for all the action in the Upper Yarra Valley.

Entries are on-the-day for UYPC Spring Freshmans Series on Saturday 5 October, Tuesday 5 November and Saturday 23 November 23. The

Pony Club puts the funds for these training days into grounds improvements for everyone to enjoy and utilise, so if you are not able to come and ride, please come and watch, buy some food from the canteen and have a nice day out.
