WELCOME TO THE EAST CHESHIRE BRANCH OF THE PONY CLUB’S WEBSITE

Well done to all our members who attended Mini Camp this weekend!  Have a look at our News and Results Page to see what they got up to.

East Cheshire Branch will be taking 20 of our horses and ponies and their riders to perform their brand new 90th celebration musical ride”Ninety Years From Now” on Friday 4th October at 1.50 pm. More details will follow about coach trip and discounted tickets. Also the Musical Ride Team would like to thank everybody who supported our cake stall at the Cheshire shield.”

The Area Dressage Competition Schedule is on 20th July – Area_5 Dressage___20th July 2019

ECBPC – Branch statement regarding clash of dates involving camp and Area Dressage.
You will be aware that the 2019 branch junior/senior camp will be held at Somerford Park from the 19^th/20^th July through to the 23^rd July.  The Area Dressage is fixed for Saturday the 20^th July at Llandyrnog, North Wales.
We apologise to members that this clash of dates has happened but we now need to resolve the situation so far as those who hope to attend both events are concerned.  If it is your intention both to enter the Area Dressage competition and to attend camp, we will make all necessary adjustments to try to ensure that, as far as possible, you are not disadvantaged in your enjoyment of the camp experience.
If you are already at camp on the Saturday, we will ensure you are able to leave in good time to travel to Llandyrnog.
If, on the other hand, you are proposing to arrive at camp after competing at Llandyrnog, then that will be accommodated.
Please note – we will not schedule any mounted instruction for members attending both camp and Area dressage for the 20^th July. It would be unfair for ponies/horses and impracticable to schedule.  Unfortunately, we are not able to make any cost adjustment to the normal camp charges since we are working on fixed costs and a very tight budget.  Regards   Geoff
Note – This notice should not be taken as indicating that a camp place has /has not been allocated.

Members will be aware that the Pony Club organise both National and Regional Championships in most sports during the summer of each year. In order to qualify for most of these Championships, it is necessary for members to compete at Area Qualifiers which are organised in Area 5 (Cheshire and North Wales) by various branches.
This year the Area Qualifiers are being held as follows:

The Pony Club Tetrathlon Championships will be held at Offchurch on the 8^th to the 11^th August.
The Pony Club National Championships will be held at Cholmondeley, Cheshire on the 16^th to the 20^th August.
The Pony Club Regional Championships will be held at Eland Lodge on the 24^th to the 26^th August.
And on the 3^rd AUGUST the Pony Club is holding a special event to celebrate its 90^th birthday

There has been a very slight change to the pony club sport rules regarding spurs and therefore we have updated the ECBPC Spurs Policy to reflect this change.  Please see the new (March 2019) policy.ECBPC Spurs Policy Mar19
