“As far as location goes, it doesn’t get much better than the Mornington Peninsula and with the summer in full swing we’re expecting many weekend visitors to come and enjoy this unrivalled display of equestrian talent.

“The competition should be just as exciting with riders fresh from the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics in Rio, as well as hopefuls wanting to qualify for next year’s World Championships,” said Ms Selby.
