The Geelong Show Jumping Club which is based at Lake Lorne Reserve in Drysdale was profiled in last Friday's Bellarine Independent.

"... president Tom Lupton said the sport had a healthy local junior section as well, fed by the many pony clubs around the region.
The club held its major event, the August Show last weekend at Geelong Showgrounds. The event is traditionally considered the start of the showjumping season, with state and national riders using it as a warm-up for high profile competitions at the Adelaide and Melbourne shows...
