Well, there goes another year flying by, the Upper Yarra Pony Club would like to thank everyone who supported the club again last year including the committee, members and their families, volunteers, judges, coaches, sponsors, supporters, photographers and competitors. The club couldn’t run without you and your time and effort.
Moving into this year, the Upper Yarra Pony Club has a few more new exciting things planned for everyone. As a Pony Club and Private coach, Anita Prowse has noticed the dramatic increase in those suffering from various forms and levels of anxiety from severe to little competition jitters. It has also come to her attention that there is not a lot of help at hand for sufferers or their coaches, so she has teamed up with the best of the best, Dr Fraser Carson, who is an Associate Professor in Coaching and Sport Psychology, Programme Leader with a Bachelor in Sport and Exercise Science and Chair of the Teaching and Learning Council at Lunex (Luxemburg University).
They are working on a specific Equestrian Program to help everyone achieve their very best and UYPC will run some workshops this year to fine tune everything and be sure the club has all bases covered. We will have more info and a proper introduction into these sessions in the coming year.
The first event for 2025 is of course the UYPC Australia Day Freshmans on 26 January from 9.30am with entries on the day.
