You must also notify the Director of Horsemanship immediately if your horse has been in or originated from Queensland or Northern New South Wales.

Polocrosse Write Up

During the 2018 Australian polocrosse season, Ally Gray and Annabel Michelmore were both chosen to represent Victoria in the under 16 girls’ team at the Australian Nationals, held in Perth. Starting on the 20th of September the two girls will spend two weeks travelling and then one week competing against other states of Australia, as well as New Zealand. Both Ally and Annabel have been training hard for the past few months, by themselves, to prepare their horses in readiness to represent their state. The two girls are very excited about the competition ahead and the College is proud of their achievements. We wish Ally and Annabel well and look forward to hearing about their successes on their return.
