IMPORTANT CHAMPIONSHIP INFORMATION
ENTRIES
All competitors must be a paid up member of The Pony Club within Areas 1 and 19. Competitors must have Qualified from one of the 2024/25 Qualifier rounds in Areas 1 and 19 except those entering the direct entry classes where indicated. When entering please specify your Branch name if you are taking part in the Team competition. It is a mixed level Team Competition so all branches should be able to make up teams provided they have a minimum of three members competing on that discipline. Teams will be agreed by your DC and the correct team name confirmed once entry has closed.
ENTRY PLEASE STIPULATE BRANCH NAME ONLY WHEN ASKED FOR TEAM NAME
Multiple Horses – competitors may qualify a maximum of two horses for the Championships in any one class. In the event of a rider qualifying more than two horses for the Championships, they must nominate which two they will take at the Preliminary Round. The other qualifying place will be passed down the line.
Multiple Riders –horses may be ridden by up to two different riders at a Preliminary Round but by only one rider at the Championships, in any one sport.
Multiple Levels – riders cannot compete in more than two consecutive classes per day on the same horse/pony. Horses/ponies cannot compete more than once in each class or in more than two classes on the day.
This rule excludes Dressage to Music entries.
Teams
Should a Branch/Centre have three or four members qualify at any Preliminary Competition, at any level, these members can combine to compete as a mixed level team at the Spring Festival Championships. The team members can compete at different levels with a maximum of two members at the same level, the exception being the PC110/Open class where only one member is allowed. Music classes are excluded from the teams. A team must be comprised of at least three members (i.e., one member may ride two horses) and the top three scores to count at the Championships. Teams must be declared prior to entries closing for the Spring Festival Championships in April. A single combination, rider and horse, taking part in two classes can be in one or two teams. The combination’s score for a class can not be used twice.
ALL BRANCHES WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER CLOSING TO CONFIRM TEAM NAME AND MEMBERS, SO ON ENTRY PLEASE STIPULATE BRANCH NAME ONLY
