About
Barwon Valley Pony Club is one of the oldest clubs in Victoria beginning in 1956 on the Highton Recreation Reserve.
For a long period of time the club was based at the property "Rosemont” in Ceres, where residential camps and a One Day Event were held annually.
In 1984 the Club moved to grounds in the Ceres Township, but as a result of reduction in land available, the club moved to its present grounds at Mt. Moriac in 1989. Mrs. Wanda Nelson was the first District Commissioner and a strong force in the foundation of the club.
Long serving family names in the Club’s beginnings are McCann, Birdsey, Collins and Hope.
