Horse Talk

Last weekend saw the annual Upper Yarra Pony Club (UYPC) Dressage Jackpot run for the first time over Saturday and Sunday.

This allowed UYPC some more entries, enabled more tests to be ridden on the sand and the ability to keep on top of things more easily.

UYPC will continue as the two-day format which was definitely deemed a successful trial.

Jackpot results were:

PC G2 – Ella Tosh on Carronade, Yarra Glen PC.

PC G3 – Sarah Laukart on HSV Charisma, Upper Beacconsfield PC.

PC G4 – Audrey Murphy on Emerald, Cockatoo and District PC.

PC G5 – Lilly Kitto on Finding Nemo, Seville PC.

PC G6 – Harper Falls on Mikani Midnight Gambler, Ringwood PC.

OPEN ADV – Skye Wright on Kamber Pryderi.

OPEN G1 – Fern Wright on Kamber Merfyn.

OPEN G2 – Dianne Wilkinson on Riverbend Wahine Te Nui.

OPEN G3 – Jaimee Simpson on Darwin Park Spyderman.

OPEN G4 – Kerrie Bellett on Silkwood Eclipse.

OPEN G5 – Louisa Smith on Harkaway Lodge Genna.

OPEN G6 – Monroe Bellett on Oakey.

Thanks to all competitors, judges and volunteers who make the events enjoyable and fun to organise and run.
