What a fun day some of our residents had at Western Victoria Dressage Championships yesterday. It was a hot day but really friendly and well run by WVDC at Elcho Park. Deb and Total Secrecy (sweetest 4yo ever ❤️) brought home the most amazingly beautiful rug for their win of Prelim champion and Tracy with Gem and Fi with Amico both reserve Champs in elementary and Medium respectively 🥰

We have an agistment spot coming up. One of our lovely agisters has decided to become a neighbour so we have an opening for one more. All agistment paddocks are the same set up. We have large stables with soft rubber flooring that open on to small yards with geohex mats which open on to grassed paddocks with safe, electrified horse rail fencing. Open indoor arena with mirrors, hot cold wash bay, shared tack room, float parking, friendly environment, etc. We charge $135/week for DIY (requires daily feeds and yard cleaning, etc) or $260/week plus feed for full service or a variety of options in between if you need some services. Most agisters are mainly dressage riders, eventers and pleasure riders. If this sound like what you’re looking for, give me a pm or call 0411519004

Mainly dressage warmbloods so experience with, and confidence around big horses is important.

With all of this wet weather it sure is lovely to have a roof on the arena, a fabulous surface, and huge walk-in walk-out stables and yards so the horses can escape the mud 👍

Happy, comfortable and safe is a big priority at Venus Equestrian. A little bit about our stables - they are roomy 4x6m stables with premium Corbro (and similar) rubber matting on the floors. It is rubber over eva foam which is really cushioned - great for blood circulation in the feet and legs. Outside in the walk in - walk out yards, we have geohex mats laid over crushed rock, to stablise the ground and stop mud. These are topped with mulch for comfort - always somewhere dry to stand and rest outside. All the stables are central so the horses are all together, which we find is very calming and social for them all, and they have access to this shelter all day 🙂
