AREA COMPETITIONS & TEAM TRAINING

What are the ‘Area’s’?

Every Pony Club is part of a larger regional grouping. We are part of Area 14. Every year, there are Area competitions, mainly in July, for the branches in our area in four disciplines: Tetrathlon, Dressage, Eventing and Show Jumping. These are at all levels: Regional, Novice, Intermediate and Open.

Team Training
The Royal Artillery is always keen for as many members as possible to take part at these competitions.  To this end, we run a large training squad who are invited to attend training sessions during the spring and early summer. This squad is very flexible and open. Team members are normally selected from this group for all the disciplines. Training sessions give us an opportunity to see you and your horse/pony on a regular basis which is very helpful. Attendance at rallies is also highly recommended (this is where you are likely to be ‘spotted’). To represent the Branch in a team, it is our policy that you have attended 3 working rallies in the current year
