An Introduction to Eventing
The eventing dressage test must be ridden from memory (except at grassroots when the test can be commanded). This is followed by a Show Jumping round ending with the XC phase.
Members who are taking part in any O.D.E’s can ask to be included in the teams at the Area; this competition is a qualifier for the finals of the Nationals and regional competitions. The Pony Club Championships in August (the highlight of the Pony Club year) which features the finals of the Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, Polocrosse, Mounted Games and Dressage to Music, Horse and Pony Care and Tetrathlon . While the Grassroots Regional Finals are normally on the August Bank Holiday Weekend.
Event training rallies take place throughout the year and focus on all three phases; dressage, show jumping and cross country. If you are interested in competing in teams for Branch and/or the Area competition, it is essential that you attend some of our event training rallies so that we can help you train to compete at a level suitable for you.
