Weather held off on Sunday for the Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Poles and Jumping Clinic, a fun day out with some nifty exercises to get everyone moving and stretching.

UYPC is hoping it can fit one more of these in this year in November, stay tuned for dates. The first Freshmans in the spring series is coming up on Saturday 5 October, with entries available on the day.

Set up will begin shortly for the Shirley Heights Equestrian Centre EA National Horse Trials this coming weekend. Large entries and great weather is forecast for spectators to enjoy the beautiful venue as well. This event looks to become a very well-attended permanent fixture for the Yarra Valley, and great for our local competitors to have something else so close to home. The Upper Yarra Pony Club will be manning the kiosk for the day, so come and say hello and enjoy some yummy food. Don’t worry the AFL grand final will be on the big screen for anyone who doesn’t want to miss out. Happy Riding Everyone.
