Spring is definitely in the air, sunny skies and growing grass all over the Valley.
Tuesday’s weather is looking perfect for Upper Yarra Pony Club’s Cup Day Freshmans at Wesburn Park, entries are on the day and the grand unveiling of the new addition to the clubrooms will finally be happening. Hope to see everyone there, starting at 9.30am, tickets at the clubrooms.
The Yarra Valley Horse Show on Sunday 15 December is quickly approaching. All are very excited about our new Eminent Turnout class with a huge $250 cash prize, and $100 for the runner-up. A reminder this class is Pre-entry only and entries are available on the Event Secretary website. The exact entry criteria and workout will be posted in the event page on the ‘UPPER YARRA PONY CLUB’ Facebook page hopefully by the end of the week.
UYPC are also happy to announce the Riders Without Horses program will be participating in this year’s This Girl Can promotion with thanks to Yarra Ranges Council, on the Sunday 1 December Rally.
On Saturday 9 November, Shirley Heights Equestrian Centre has its EA Dressage competition, and the following Friday are hosting Yarra Glen ARC’s second Friday Fun Show-jumping day.
Very disappointing to yet again be receiving reports of abusive dog owners at Wesburn Park. Please report all incidents to the Yarra Ranges Council and if you are worried or concerned about anyone’s safety please dial 000. This really is getting a little out of control and UYPC hope some more respectful attitudes can be attained.
