Dear Members & Parents,
\u00a0
I have tried to produce a document to shed a little more light on how and when the eventing qualifiers and championships run for our Branch.\u00a0 \u00a0To all our seasoned pros, I am sure you can skip a few paragraphs but feedback has shown that some members remain confused and a little overwhelmed about the process to qualify.\u00a0\u00a0So I am hoping this answers some questions.
\u00a0
2023 saw the Grassroot\/Regional championship hosting a 70cm as well as an 80cm event.\u00a0\u00a0We were thrilled to see this extra class but the uptake was low so it would be great to see more members participating in these sections! It’s the perfect start to your eventing journey.\u00a0\u00a0It can be daunting, but I can assure you we will be organising plenty of training and team training to ensure we are ready.\u00a0\u00a0I urge as many as possible to give this a go, the first event at a championship can be the first time for many that ponies have stayed away and members have camped with their teammates.\u00a0\u00a0As stated above the classes allow for individual and team qualifiers.<\/div>\n
\n
The Pony Club JCB Championships – can be a weeklong event (depending on how many events you are successful at gaining places for).\u00a0 Anyone eventing at 90cm and above will be fighting for an opportunity to compete at this prestigious event.\u00a0\u00a0Again, a fabulous event that promises a party or three in between the disciplines.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The nitty gritty!\u00a0\u00a0When you enter the qualifiers, we ask that you are, in fact, committing to entering the championship.\u00a0\u00a0It is extremely unfair for team members to qualify only to find that one member has decided they can no longer go to the championship.\u00a0 You must now also have attended 3 rallies in order to represent the Branch in team competitions, for eventing in particular one of these should include a cross country rally, within a year of the competition date – Please refer to the recent email sent by Emma (DC)\u00a0 for further details on the three rally rule.
\u00a0
There will be a several opportunities to train in the lead up to these events and I ask that you attend as many as possible.\u00a0\u00a0I will try my best to secure some other venues and coaches so that you are all prepared before you compete. Teams will be selected with the coaches that get to see you at these rallies, however competing as an individual is also an option.<\/div>\n
