The Yarra Ranges Pony Club finished up for 2025, with their much loved Christmas Rally on Sunday 18 December with thanks to Wesburn/Millgrove CFA for delivering Santa, even with the nasty weather forecast.

2026 promises to be a big year with some new events on the program.

The Annual Australia Day Freshmans will run Monday 26 Jan, with entries available on the day, followed up in February with our Friday twilight freshmans on the 27th.

We thank everyone for their support in 2025.

Keep an eye out for the first meeting to start up The Yarra Ranges Equestrian Alliance in this New Year.

Happy Riding everyone!!!
