Windy conditions kept riders inside, participating in an "equestrian friendly" workout (supplied).

The wild and wet weekend saw Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Riders Without Horses Rally run unmounted with a combination of “equestrian friendly” workouts and also some Proficiency Certificate theory, covering feeding, stabling and exercise routines for different scenarios.

Let’s just say the workout could do with a little more practise!!

We have quite a lot of large scale events coming up in the Valley for the later part of the year, with entries available now on Event Secretary.

Shirley Heights have the Combined Training and EA Horse Trials this month, while UYARC host Dressage In The Valley in October, and UYPC have the Yarra Valley Horse Show mid December.

Freshmans coming up at Wesburn Park Saturday October 5, Tuesday November 5, and Saturday November 23, and entry for all Freshmans is on the day.

We will now be starting at 9:30 to accommodate the newly released “G” grade competitors.

Happy Riding Everyone!
