A very warm one for the 2024 Yarra Valley Horse Show, but still very impressive numbers for the day.

This year saw the event running the very first ‘Shirley Heights Eminent turnout’ class, which involved, turnout, ridden and led components, the winner was Brent Greyson-Bennett with the gorgeous Louvont and runner-up was Sarah Allsopp on Furst Dance. Congratulations to both riders looking amazing and doing a super workout. Can’t wait to see that one again next year.

Local rider Marley from Upper Yarra Pony Club won the Encouragement Award in the Pony Club ring, Junior Highpoint PC was Harper and Senior Highpoint PC was Elizabeth. Was a great day despite the warmer weather and an event which organisers always enjoy running, with more and more classes being added every year. That’s it for Upper Yarra Pony Club until events resume on Australia Day 2025 for the Annual Freshman’s Day.

Happy Riding everyone.
