FOBEA are absolutely thrilled to have received the Equestrian Victoria Eventing Affiliate of the Year award 🏆
This recognition would not be possible without our incredible sponsors, riders, supporters and most of all, our amazing committee.

This event is approaching its 20th year running, and every year it just gets better and better (ageing like a fine wine?)

To everyone who supports us year in year out, this one is for you too! The biggest, warmest, heartfelt thank you’s don’t even begin to express our appreciation for this achievement.

We are continuing to rest, with preparations soon to begin for our next event!
See you in 2026! 🐎
