Devon and Somerset Pony Club is in Area 15, and there are annual competitions to see which competitors and teams represent their branches at National, Regional Grassroots and Mini Championships.
The Pony Club Grassroots Regional events are an entry level team competition in Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing which are ideal for the more novice Branch and Centre Members. They’re a perfect stepping stone for anyone looking to compete at The Pony Club National Championships at Offchurch Bury, Warwickshire in the future. Once you compete at the area competitions you cannot go back to regional level.
