UNIQUE EVENT: The Mildura Horse Trials offers a unique opportunity for horses and riders, with the day preceding the Horse Trials offering a stand-alone dressage competition with a comprehensive list of competitive and eventing tests. Also on offer on Friday is a freshman’s jumping competition with heights from 45cm – 105cm. A great chance for horses to become comfortable in the surroundings and for riders to take advantage of a practice run prior to the event! Friday afternoon/evening also showcases both junior and senior 6 Bar competitions with great prizemoney on offer.
CROSS COUNTRY COURSE: Originally a Ewan Kellett designed course, the past few years have seen some terrific updates made by Mick Pineo. The course winds through the bush on tracks with good sandy footing, out onto an open course with much of the course able to be seen from the main clubroom area. Always new jumps throughout the course. A good mix of training and challenging fences.

More info available on our FB page.
· YARDS - Overnight yards available. Wooden and metal. Limited number. Yards must be booked and paid for with entries on Nominate. NO HOLDS. Metal yards are located near finish of XC course and some also out in the Unpowered Camping 1 'own yard' area, so you can camp near your friends if you have a mix between you of own and needing yards. But you must stipulate your camping buddies on your entry so we can try and group those camping together who have a mixture of own and booked yards. We promise we will do our best but can't guarantee. Metal yards are NOT near the front gate or powered sites (only wooden yards are near powered sites) so please consider when making booking. Yards have a good base but if required, bedding (straw) and shavings can be purchased via Nominate. Yards MUST be left clean, all manure and straw to be placed in the trailers or bags provided. Please report any damage to yards to an event official. NO horses are to be yarded in the round yard or any other enclosed arenas on the grounds. DO NOT PLACE MANURE OR STRAW AROUND TREES as they are dying from this. They are natives and don't need manure to stay healthy. Please notify event official if trailers need emptying. BYO yards welcome in designated area only - must comply with EA regulations. See site map for yard and camping locations.
· STABLES - Limited number of stables available next door at the Mildura Racecourse. Preference given to stallions.
· FACILITY FEE - A $20 compulsory facility fee is payable (per rider).
· CAMPING - Unpowered camping is available FREE, but must still be 'booked' to ensure you are allocated parking. A very limited number of powered sites are available for the duration of the event and are in addition to the compulsory facility fee. Powered camping spots will be individually allocated. Bookings for powered sites can only be made with a full event booking (ie. they cannot be booked in advance or held. Any entries for powered sites only, will be cancelled). Conditions of powered site use are that only 10 amp power leads are to be used, and are to be tested and tagged to prevent electrical fires.
