Werribee Park back to business after the 1st of January.

EFA Victoria branch CEO, Jackie Woodhead assured everyone that Werribee Park would return to normal equestrian activities after the 1st of January. “ The DPI will move the horses from NSW into Werribee Park on the 18th of December and they will all be gone by the 31st of December. The DPI lease runs out on the date and then we are back to normal events. The first event booked is the VDC Freestyle and Open Competition on Saturday the 12th of January for which the closing date for entries has been extended to Friday 14th December. The competition will only be cancelled if there is an actual outbreak of EI in Victoria or lack of entries. Our aim will be to accept all entries and split classes were/if necessary.

Following the dressage event there will be three days of showjumping at Werribee from the 25th to the 27th of January followed by Barastoc Horse of the Year 14th to the 17th of February.




A number of organizations have cancelled their events booked for Werribee Park in the first half of next year. This is disappointing as while Victoria remains EI free there is no reason why equestrian events can not be held and holding events at WPNEC makes implementing the bio-security conditions much easier.”
