Ballarat Horse Trials

 

Description: Ballarat Pony Club run a very enjoyable and friendly event. The grounds are in the heart of Ballarat and on Saturday night, there are a number of pubs and places to eat within walking distance. Although the size of land available for the cross country is not large, they make good use of the area available and there is even one long stretch suitable for a gallop.

With food available all weekend, an impressive set of new plastic show jumps and sand arenas, there is a lot to like about this event.
