Eventing comprises 3 disciplines or phases – Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country (XC). Each phase is scored individually and then all the scores are added together to give the total.
There is information about Eventing on the main Pony Club and British Eventing website.
Please refer to the Dressage and Show Jumping pages for rally dates.
Rally Dates

XC Technique Rallies – 80, 90, 100, 100+
We will organise XC rallies throughout the year weather dependant. These rallies will be held at Somerford and Smallwood Livery centre. We will also consider holding rallies at Kelsall if members express an interest in trying a different venue. During the winter and until mid February the rallies will be held on the Showground Areans at Somerford. The main 80 acres schooling field should open in early March so the March Rally will be on grass.
The rallies will be for those members who are confidently jumping solid XC fences 80, 90, 100 & 100+. We advise that at this level all ponies/horses should be shod all round, with studs at the owners discretion.
Here are a few of the instructors we will be using in 2019. They will be varied depending upon their own eventing schedule:-
Dee Hankey
Michael Owen
Any Lennon
Emma Silman
Andrea Ash
Richard Long
David Llewellyn
Mini XC Technique Rallies 55-80cm
We will put on some Mini eventing rallies for those confidently jumping solid fences at 55-80cm. Members must also be able to control their pony in open spaces.
These will, weather permitting, be on grass either at Smallwood Livery centre or the new Grassroots Development Zone at Somerford, which we hope will open in the Spring. We will arrange instructors for these rallies in due course, but they will have XC experience.
