Pony Club Victoria is excited to announce the qualifying criteria for the 2027 Pony Club Victoria State Dressage and Showjumping Championships, with two significant changes creating more opportunities for riders to compete at State level.

1) 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖
From 2027, both the State Dressage and State Showjumping Championships are open to all riders who meet the relevant qualifying criteria.

This is an exciting change for PCV and means that riders who achieve the required qualifying performances will be eligible to compete at State Championships, providing more members with the opportunity to experience competition at the highest level of Pony Club Victoria competition.

2) 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
The 2027 State Championships will also introduce a Masters section in all grades.

The Masters section will be open to members over the age of 25 years.

This exciting addition recognises the continued participation and commitment of our adult riders and provides Masters riders with the opportunity to compete for State Championship honours in their own section.

𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨. These details are also available on the news section of our website.

Golden Wattle Horse Trials CANCELLED 🥲

It is with great disappointment that the MDHPC Committee announces the cancellation of the upcoming Golden Wattle Horse Trials.

Following the heavy rainfall received from Sunday through to Monday, the grounds have been assessed and deemed unsafe for competition. With further rain forecast over the coming two weeks, we believe cancelling the event is the safest and most responsible decision for all riders & horses

We understand this news will be disappointing and sincerely apologies for any inconvenience caused. While this was not an easy decision, the safety and welfare of everyone involved must remain our highest priority.

We are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule the event for a later date this year and will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

MDHPC Committee
