Every day is full of interest at Melbourne International 3 Day Event.  MI3DE’s international eventing classes consist of three judged phases; dressage, cross country and show jumping with the winners in each class being the horse/rider combinations which accumulate the least number of penalty marks over the three days of competition.  Cross country and show jumping provide a great spectacle and the event welcomes all visitors to enjoy a day out with family and friends in the beautiful surrounds of the Werribee Park precinct.   

As well as an exciting competition program the event also offers an extensive undercover Winter Trade Village and evening entertainment.

DOGS AT THE VENUE – We all love our dogs and while dogs are permitted on the equestrian centre venue they are not permitted on Parks Victoria land on Cross Country Day.  Cross Country Day is the only day we utilise Parks Victoria land.  Please see the map HERE to know where you may have your dog.  Please ensure your dog is kept on a lead at all times.

Please check for updates to the timetable after entries close 21 May
