As we count down to the Shirley Heights International Horse Trials, we want to take a moment to start thanking our much-loved sponsors. ❤️

An event like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible businesses and people who choose to get behind us.

Some have supported Shirley Heights for years, others have joined us for this very special event — but every single contribution, big or small, means so much to us.

Over the next few days we’ll be shining a light on the wonderful sponsors who have helped make this weekend possible.

Please support the businesses that support our sport. We are incredibly grateful to have them as part of the Shirley Heights family.

From all of us at Shirley Heights — THANK YOU. ❤️🐴

A HUGE THANK YOU TO YARRA VALLEY VETERINARY SURGERY ❤️

We really cannot thank Yarra Valley Veterinary Surgery enough for the incredible support they give Shirley Heights.

Not only are YVVS our major venue sponsor, they are also a huge supporter of our Shirley Heights International Horse Trials and so many of our events throughout the year.

Your ongoing generosity, support and friendship mean so much to us, and we are incredibly proud to have you as part of the Shirley Heights family. ❤️

And remember — YVVS take care of ALL our animals, large and small! 🐴🐶🐱

We are so thrilled to have the YVVS team here with us for the International Horse Trials this Saturday night in the Marquee for their meet and greet, followed by the raffle prize draw! … and I have a feeling all of our CCI3*-S eventers will be thanking you too! 😉🐴

Thank you, YVVS — we genuinely couldn’t do what we do without the support of wonderful local businesses like you. ❤️
