We are approaching summer qualifier season so anyone wanting to represent the club please get in touch with your Chef d’Equipes – details below! Entries for all areas will be via Horse Monkey and payment must be made before close of entries; the committee has agreed to subsidise members by paying the horsemonkey fee on all area entries.
Show and style jumping – Sunday 10 July – Radfords (Llanymynech) – Gwen Robinson
Individual and team competitions, 70cm-110cm. The 70cm, 80cm and 90cm are all split in to juniors and seniors with the 100cm and 110cm being mixed classes.
Style jumping is similar to show jumping, but marks are based on the rider’s performance and effectiveness rather than the horse’s. There is a 75cm class and an 85cm class for this competition and is split into juniors and seniors. Individuals and teams may compete in this class; teams must have two riders ride at 75cm and two ride at 85cm.
The championships is held at Lincoln Showground, 3-4th September

The Championships include a wide range of dressage classes ranging from intro (new this year) right the way up to Advanced Medium. Classes for teams and individuals, as well as pairs sections!
The riding test is similar to a dressage test, but marks are awarded according to the rider’s performance (effectiveness and presentation of the test), and the horse’s paces are not considered. This competition can be ridden as an individual or as part of a team; For senior teams, two members ride the Prelim RT and the other two ride the Novice RT. Junior team members all ride Prelim RT.
The championships is held at Lincoln Showground, 3-4th September
