Well, how good was the weather Saturday?

A gorgeous day for the Poles Clinic at Upper Yarra Pony Club. Testing some skill levels and learning helpful tools of the trade. Well done everyone!

On a heavier note, we are unfortunately having a lot of complaints coming in about disrespectful people using the Park, we need to acknowledge that many people don’t comprehend the Risk Management Policies that our clubs have to deal with, and that their actions directly jeopardize the Club’s relevant insurances, but common sense and courtesy go a long way in this world.

Constant dogs off lead in Equestrian area and cyclists and motorbikes just flying through with complete disdain for anyone riding their horses.

One more time I will say it …..the Equestrian area is NOT an off lead dog park, is NOT part of the mountain bike trail, is NOT a drone zone and is NOT a motorcycle track.

Please anyone with any issues from any party, call or email Yarra Ranges Council and if you are ever worried for your immediate safety do not hesitate in calling 000.

Happy and Safe riding everyone!!
