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

 

CHAMPIONSHIP NEWS!!!!

In a state of shock and disbelief, it is with great sadness and regret that The Pony Club Championship Committee has had to make the utterly heart-breaking decision to abandon the 2019 Pony Club Championships, scheduled for 16 – 20 August at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire.

Due to heavy rainfall over the weekend and an exceptionally wet summer, there is now standing water on many areas of the site, with the stabling area and lorry park in particular being totally inaccessible. With more heavy rain forecast over the next week, the organising teams were faced with the horrifying fact that there was no option but to abandon all competitions at Cholmondeley Castle on the grounds of safety. Hours of agonising deliberation have been spent exploring any possible option to run the event safely, but this has not been viable.

The Pony Club National Championships will be held at Cholmondeley, Cheshire on the 16th to the 20th August.

 

The Pony Club Regional Championships will be held at Eland Lodge on the 24th to the 26th August.

 

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.”

 

 

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
