Show jumping really is available to all, from poles on the ground, up to open level starting at 1.10m.
As a pony club we aim to provide instruction in jumping from working rallies through to more specific show jumping training. There are various Interbranch Competitions held throughout the year both inside and out on grass.
Inter-branch Show Jumping Explained
This is a competition also known as the Triangular Show Jumping which often causes confusion
Many years ago three branches in Area 7, North Shropshire, Wheatland and Albrighton, came together to organise a series of Show Jumping competitions to be held over the winter months. Back in the mists of time it was held at Prescott but later moved to Rodbaston where it remains to this day. Each branch organises one competition and gets to keep all the proceeds which subsidises Camps and other fun activities during the year. North Shropshire runs the October event, which is why, if you were there, you will have seen so many familiar faces on the gate etc. All the competitions are open to all Pony Club members from any branch or centre, you can have a go at any of the classes jumping cross poles up to 1.05m. It is a team event so even if you miss out on a top placing you may come home with a rosette if your team does well. Ann will put your team together so all you need to do is enter. Rodbaston has a large indoor school, spectator seating inside, catering and the warmup is under cover too!
It’s an excellent opportunity to go to a big competition where you’ll always see friendly faces.
