We are pleased to report that successful negations resulted in the Nationals being able to be conducted in the indoor arena at Werribee Park in March.

Our thanks to Sue McKay for assisting with both of these issues.
Judges have now been released and plans are planning satisfactorily. The schedule will be released shortly.

OWNER RIDER CLASSES
An amendment was made to the wording of the direction section for Owner Rider classes which now reads “ It is the intention of these classes to be for horses ridden and prepared by the owner or the owner’s immediate family.” 

2022 SHOW
A working party is to be formed to investigate a major show for Victoria to replace the National championships which will be held in NSW for the next 3 years after the March Nationals.
