If you wish to be considered for a team at either of these two events above please email me on the address below giving me your details and the full details of your horse ie the name that appears on the passport and what class you are aspiring to.

There are also various team competitions being run at lots of Pony Club Branch Show Jumping competitions in the near future and anyone entered in these competitions who wish to be included in a team in the relevent classes need to inform me what show, when and in what classes they are entered so if numbers warrant per class I can organise teams to represent OBH(N) on the days of the competition.

Entered as part of a Branch team gives you an extra chance of glory and rooting for your other team members makes for a more exciting competition and recently some very rewarding days!

So far I have one team entered in Class 5 for the Vale of Aylesbury Show Jumping at Patchetts on Tuesday 14th February 2012.
