Winter League Show Jumping<\/h4>\n

The winter league season is fast approaching. The WL competitions are show jumping competitions run from September to February. There will be about 6 competitions run by each branch that take part. At each competition, children collect points for themselves and in a team for the Pony Club. There are individual and team prizes for each competition as well as overall throughout the season. Each competition will be advertised on the weekly email, so if you are keen, keep an eye out.<\/p>\n

The classes are:<\/p>\n

    All the rules are online on the Area 5 website.<\/p>\n

    Everyone is welcome to come and join in at WL and we welcome everyone. If you would like any advice or a chat about it, please send Mari a message or email, and she’ll be happy to help.<\/p>\n

    If you would like to be part of the WL please enter your child in the competition, then let Mari know the name of the child and pony, and the class entered. Once all entries are in Mari and Sian will put the children into teams. Please see the selection policy on our website. Teams are chosen on track record, attendance at training and instructor feedback.<\/p>\n

    There is training organised for the children who will be competing at the WL. If you are interested, please let Mari know first to see if there is space in the appropriate group. Once payment is made, your space will be secured.<\/p>\n

    If you attend any training or competitions, you will have to help at our competition on 15th\u00a0November at Northop so please put the date in your diary and bear this in mind before entering the training or competitions! We are lucky to attend other pc comps, this is our chance to give back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is a fun way to keep going through the winter; it’s great to see the children progressing through the season. If you have any questions, please ask Mari or Sian and they will be happy to help.<\/p>\n
