A Casey-based all-abilities equine organisation will play host to the Melbourne Cup.

On Saturday 17 July, that famous trophy will visit Equine Pathways in Narre Warren North as part of the 2021 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour.

Two separate events will take place on the day:

• Equine Pathways Open and Lexus Melbourne Cup Event, 10am – 1pm at Balmoral Equestrian Centre, 299 Harkaway Road, Narre Warren North

• Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour Community Event, 1pm – 2pm, at Akoonah Park, Berwick

The Open Day and Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour Event will allow visitors the opportunity to learn more about Equine Pathways and meet the team.

There will be demonstrations by Equine Pathways’ riders and horses, stable tours and special guest speakers.

Equestrian Olympian Amanda Ross and 1992 Melbourne Cup Winning jockey Greg Hall will also be there.

At the Community Event, guests will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see and have their photo taken with the iconic Melbourne Cup.

Equine Pathways works with people with injury, illness or disability looking to personally develop and improve their life opportunities and wellbeing.
