Equestrian Victoria member, Chris Wallis, was one of only four finalists in the Julius Patching Award held last month.

Safety concerns were are at the forefront of event organisers and Ballarat International Horse Trials decided to lead the way in off horse safety for riders.  Friday and  Saturday night entertainment took place in the Inflatable Pub.   Injuries to committee members Nina & Viv at non horse equestrian functions sparked the move to make having fun as safe as possible. 🤣

JUMPING VICTORIA STRATEGIC REVIEW

In February 2019, SBP was engaged by Equestrian Victoria (EV) to undertake a strategic review of the structure and delivery of Show Jumping in Victoria. The project objective was to deliver a robust Jumping Victoria Committee and EV Board paper, which:

  • Provides evidence and analysis to validate and support the strategic direction of the Jumping Victoria Committee over the next 3-4 years;
  • Informs the process to secure member support for the strategic direction, and;
  • Establishes systems and process for managing and implementing the strategic direction.
