15Horse Talk



Well thankfully weather held out for us on Sunday for the Yarra Valley Horse Show, and it was not too hot either, as last year was a bit of a hot one.

The Pony Club Junior Highpoint was won by Clare Bickerton on Wyann Forget Me Not from Euroa Pony Club.

Senior Highpoint was won by Marley O’Connor on Rosie from Upper Yarra Pony Club.

The $250 Eminent Turnout winner was Brooke Mitchiner on Kensington Miss America, with Runner Up Cleo Billings on Gatsby FF Wells Applause.

Topsy rider of the day was won by Henry Gust on Sundance.

We thank all the competitors for supporting us, our amazing sponsors and of course all the helpers and organisers of the day.

As always we look forward to next year.

We have our annual Christmas rally Sunday 21, and then straight into it for 2026 with our Australia Day Freshmans, if weather is warmer we will use the cooler grass arena, and entries are on the day.

We haven’t quite tallied up all our Cancer Council fundraising yet, but happy to report some very generous donations so thank you everyone.
